DEAD LAST, FOR A WHILE. Not a good start for Ty in the 1st round of the Phoenix Open as he opens with a 6-over-par 77 in the first round, and is saved from last place only by an 80 turned in by Dudley Hart. The only bright spot in all of this is that he played his final 6 holes at 2-under par.



After the round Tryon said, "The more bad shots I hit, the more nervous I got." And as for the big crowds expected to follow him around, "I scared them off with my great performance. If I want a bigger crowd, I guess I've got to make some birdies." At least he's got a sense of humor about it.
