Pampling fires 64 to chase Armour at Champions Tour event

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 02:25 · Archive

Australian Rod Pampling shot eight-under 64 to trail leader Ryan Armour by one shot at the Constellation Furyk & Friends on the Champions Tour.

Rod Pampling, a 57-year-old Australian, shot eight-under 64 in the opening round of the Constellation Furyk & Friends Champions Tour event at Hammock Beach in Florida, finishing one shot behind leader Ryan Armour. Four Australians sit within three shots of the lead.

Pampling started on the back nine and made an eagle at the par-5 14th hole, reaching nine under par through 15 holes before shooting bogey-par-par to finish. He described the eagle putt as 'like a maybe 25-, 30-footer' and noted it was his first of the year. Pampling is seeking his third win on the 50-and-over tour and his first since 2023.

Armour, a tour rookie who joined soon after turning 50 in February, shot a leading 63 with ten birdies. Fellow American Paul Goydos also shot 64. Armour said he had a slow start to his season but has since recorded three top-five finishes in his past five starts, never placing lower than 14th. 'It took a while for me to get used to it again,' he said. 'As soon as I had more reps under me, you know, it felt normal.'
