2011 Honda Classic: First round
Twelve players were still left on the course when the horn blew at 6:25 p.m. ET, but the story of the day was the wind. Gusting up to 40 mph at some points, the course playing a stout three shots over par, The Honda Classic turned into the US Open. 58 balls found a watery grave in the three hole stretch known as the “Bear Trap,” five players shot 80 or better, and two players withdrew. Notables lurking are Matt Kuchar (-1), Lee Westwood (E), and 54 year old Nick Price (E). Forever known as a premier ball striker, Price turned back the hands of time if just for a round. Players will see the same conditions tomorrow as the wind is expected to continue to pump. If it does, expect more carnage.
