MAMARONECK, N.Y. — Round one got underway Thursday at the 79th annual Anderson Memorial Four-Ball Invitational, set at the renowned Winged Foot Golf Club's West Course. Virginians Roger Newsom and Adam Horton posted a bogey-free round of 63, seven-under, to lead by a stroke. The team hails from Elizabeth Manor Golf & Country Club in Portsmouth. Nine teams finished the day under par, and another six are in at even-par, including defending champions Luis Barco and Patricio Alzamora of Peru. Sitting in second place at 64 are Dan Crockett and Philip Smith of The Country Club, followed by Joe Saladino and Dave Boccia of Huntington Country Club on New York's Long Island at 65.
