Worrell takes early lead in second Web.com Tour event
Enid native, former University of Tulsa star and current Jenks resident Chris Worrell shot a 6-under-par 66 to take the first round lead in The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, the second event of the season on the Web.com Tour and the second consecutive event held in the Bahamas.
Worrell, making his Web.com Tour debut two weeks ago, was blown off the course in the gusty season-opener but handled the winds spectacularly Sunday. The tournament continues through Wednesday.
