GREENSBORO, N.C. — Bob Heintz isn't concerned about playing his way into next week's FedEx Cup playoffs. Of more pressing concern is simply keeping his spot on the PGA Tour.

Heintz and rookie Martin Laird got off to a good start at the Wyndham Championship, matching the course record Thursday with 7-under 63s at Sedgefield Country Club to share the lead after the first round of pro golf's last event before the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

They joined three other players who previously shot 63s at the Donald Ross-designed course — nobody had done it since Gary Player in 1970, although the pros haven't played Sedgefield since 1976 — and surpassed the venue's opening-round record by one stroke.

Canadian Women's Open

OTTAWA — Defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Annika Sorenstam in the Canadian Women's Open, leaving Michelle Wie nine strokes back Thursday in her final LPGA Tour event of the year.

Ochoa, the winner last year at Royal Mayfair in Edmonton, Alberta, hit all 18 greens in regulation and was in the rough only once.
