KIRKPATRICK ON TRAIL OF
A FEW DOLLARS MORE

Florida-based Scot David Kirkpatrick, a Scotland amateur international player in the early 1990s, was sharing 11th place at the end of the first round of the NGA Pro Tour Winter Series event at West Orange Golf Club, Winter Garden, Florida.
Kirkpatrick returned a three-under-par 69 (35-34) to be four shots behind the leader, American George Bradford (33-32).
Englishman Paul Currey is back in joint 38th place with a 72 (36-36).
And there's a once-familiar name "down among the dead men."
It's Ty Tryon, the teenager who won his way on to the US PGA Tour less than a decade ago but whose game went into a spectacular decline. For the last few years he has been playing the mini-tour events, such as this one. Tryon's golf does not get any better. He had halves of 38 and 36 for a two-over-par 74.
Even on mini-tours, that's not going to win a fistful of dollars.
