PGA Tour: Scott shares St. Jude lead with Jacobson

Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Adam Scott made a 12-foot birdie putt at the 16th hole Thursday to join Fredrik Jacobson in the lead after one round of the Stanford St. Jude Championship.
Scott and Jacobson were at three-under 67, one shot ahead of Retief Goosen and Brian Gay at the TPC Southwind.
Scott Verplank, Gavin Coles and Duffy Waldorf shared fifth place another stroke further back at one-under 69. John Daly, David Toms and Justin Leonard led a group of 11 players who were tied at 70.
Daly, who lives in nearby Cordova, rattled off five consecutive birdies after making a triple-bogey on his third hole, the par-four 12th. He had two bogeys on the front nine.
On this day, it was good enough.
The scoreboard looked like it might belong to a U.S. Open, and the course played like it was hosting one -- good practice for the real thing next week.
The name of the course might be Southwind, but Thursday it was blowing every which way.
"This was survival today," said Daly, who failed to qualify for the U.S. Open at Oakmont. "You don't get shots into the wind or downwind. Everything is crosswind."
