IRVING, Texas (AP) — Keegan Bradley found his clubs spread out on the floor and an open umbrella near his empty golf bag in the champions’ locker room before teeing off at the Byron Nelson Championship.

Just another prank by his good friend Jason Dufner, the defending Nelson champion he played with Thursday along with Matt Kuchar.

“It felt like a Saturday morning round with my buddies,” Bradley said. “It felt easy.”

Bradley made it look that way, shooting an opening 10- under 60 for the TPC Four Seasons course record even with consecutive bogeys in the middle of his round. He led by three strokes over Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion who had a bogeyfree 63.
