Graham DeLaet is sitting near the top of the leaderboard after a strong first round at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida Thursday. He shot a 4-under 66, and enters the second round Friday in a tie for fifth, just two strokes back of the leaders.

The Weyburn native played a flawless round. He started the day on the back nine, and was even par when he made the turn. On the front nine, he kept the pace, with birdies on 3, 4, 6 and eight.

DeLaet will resume play Friday afternoon at 12:25 p.m. Saskatchewan time, teeing off on the front nine.
