SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. — Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen took a one-point lead over former tennis player Mardy Fish on Friday after the first round of the American Century Championship. Thielen had an eagle and three birdies at at Edgewood Tahoe in a 24-point round under the modified Stableford scoring system. Players receive a point for par, three for birdie and six for eagle and two points are deducted for double bogey or worse. NHL player Joe Pavelski and former major league pitcher Derek Lowe were tied for third with 21 points. Charles Barkley had two front-nine birdies in a three-point round — the first time in tournament history that he has had positive points. The former NBA star was tied for 48th.
