Dill Leads Disney World Open After First Round
Terry Dill shot a seven under 65 to lead the Walt Disney World Open by two strokes over Jack Nicklaus in soggy Orlando. Dave Eichelberger sits solo second at 66, while Nicklaus and a group at 67 share the next tier as Trevino and Palmer struggle. Dill credits a back injury four months ago as a possible turning point and pursues a reduced schedule focused on course design.
