HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S. Charles Mann Jersey .C. -- Chad Campbell used a fast start, and Vaughn Taylor and Colt Knost had strong finishes to share the first-round lead at 4-under 67 in the RBC Heritage on Thursday. Campbell birdied four of his first seven holes, Knost birdied three of his last five, and Taylor holed out from the fairway for a closing eagle on the par-4 ninth hole at Harbour Town Golf Links. Jim Furyk, the 2010 winner, was a stroke back along with Harris English, Charlie Wi and Matt Every. Forty-two players, including John Daly in just his second PGA Tour event this year, were at even par or better. Calgarys Stephen Ames opened with a 71, and is four strokes back. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., had a 74. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., turned in a 76. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., carded a 7-over 78. Masters winner Bubba Watson took the week off as did most players ranked in the worlds top 20. No. 1 Luke Donald, who has been second, third and second here the past three years, opened with a 75. He has to finish in the top eight or surrender to the top spot to No. 2 Rory McIlroy next week. Matt Kuchar was tied for the lead at Augusta National with three holes left before finishing two shots out of the playoff between Watson and Louis Oosthuizen, Kuchar hoped to continue his strong play at Harbour Town, but ended in a large group at 1-over 72. Campbell held a first-round lead for the first time since the 2009 Masters. His game has faded some since then -- he recorded just one top 10 at the British Open last year, his fewest since coming out on tour in 2002 -- and has missed five cuts in nine tournaments this year. "I havent felt like Ive been that far off," Campbell said. "But the results havent been good at all." Campbell got it going quickly at Harbour Town with an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 2 and then consecutive birdies on the fourth and fifth holes. He moved to 4 under two holes later, rolling in a 20-footer for birdie. Campbell added a final birdie on the 15th. Campbell said the wind reminded him of his days playing golf in West Texas. "Other than the trees and the ocean," he joked. Taylor caught Campbell with his stunning shot from 103 yards out on his final hole, the ninth. Taylor, a native of Augusta, Ga., also has struggled and teed off at the RBC Heritage on a sponsors exemption. He fell back to even par with a double bogey on the 16th hole before heating up on his last nine. He made birdies on the second, fourth and seventh holes before stunning the gallery -- and himself -- with his on-target sand wedge. "I hit a smooth one," Taylor said. "Came off right, right at it, and fortunate enough to go in." Knost joined the leaders with a late charge of his own, collecting birdies on the 14th, 16th and 18th holes. Knost thinks this might be just the thing to jump start a sluggish year -- his lone top 20 was a third place at the Mayakoba Classic in February. "Its just my kind of course," Knost said. "You have to hit it fairly straight. Distance isnt that big a deal. The greens are real small, just give yourself a lot of chances." Thats the way Furyk played Harbour Town, too. His problem? Starting in the chily, windy conditions not usually seen during most Aprils in South Carolina. He played straight and steady throughout, building on a tie for 11th last week at Augusta National. "Im happy to get in with the score I did," he said. Donald has 11 straight rounds under par at Harbour Town before chopping it around Thursday. The Englishman made just one birdie and was well below Fridays projected cut line.

Utility infielder Jerry Hairston Jr. and reserve outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr., whose fathers gave them first-hand experience on how to be major leaguers, helped lead the Dodgers in their latest win. Hairston had the first five-hit game of his career and Gwynn added a pair of RBI singles in Chris Capuanos 5-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday. "Matts arguably the best player in the game, and you hate to lose a guy like that because it can be pretty devastating for the team. But we feel we have a complete team," Hairston said. "And even with Matt in the lineup, were going to need everybody to contribute to be successful. Everybodys been doing that, and its been fun." Hairston had a double and four singles, one of which drove in a run. He raised his average to .381 in his second start since coming off the disabled list on Friday. "It feels good, but the bottom line is that we won," Hairston said. "As a player, I try not to be result-oriented. I know its a result-oriented business, but you just try to have good at-bats. If you do that, the results will be there." The Dodgers sixth victory in eight games -- all minus Kemp, Ellis, Uribe and Rivera -- improved the best record in the majors to 32-15 and enabled Los Angeles to maintain its 7 1/2-game lead over San Francisco in the NL West. NL RBIs leader Andre Ethier was 0 for 5 with three strikeouts, but his teammates picked up the slack considerably with 12 hits. "Were a resilient bunch. Guys arent afraid of the moment, and they step right in," Gwynn said. "Were not thinking about Matt being gone or Juan being gone. Everybodys just doing their part. When youve got a bunch of guys pulling the rope in the same direction, youre going to have some positive results." "We knew coming into this year that we had to have guys stepping up in addition to Matt, Dre and Kershaw," he said. "And for the most part, everybody from one to 25 has been able to come up with a big hit or a big defensive play." Matt Treanor put the Dodgers ahead for good with a home run in the fourth inning that deflected off centre fielder Justin Maxwells glove as he made a leaping attempt in left-centre field. Capuano (7-1) pitched two-hit ball over seven innings and struck out eight. It was the eighth time in his last nine starts that he allowed fewer than three runs. The 33-year-old left-hander improved to 5-0 at home with a 1.36 ERA. "The guys good, man. Hes been pitching good all year and hes one of the better pitchers youre going to face," said Astros third baseman Chris Johnson, who struck out twice in going 0 for 3. London Fletcher Jersey. "His changeups nasty. I would consider him an ace on a lot of teams." Capuano is displaying the form that earned him an All-Star nod with Milwaukee in 2006 and convinced the Dodgers front office to sign the free agent to a two-year, $10 million contract in December. The way he is going, he could easily be the ace in a lot of rotations. "I try not to get caught up with that. I just try to focus on what I can control, which is making pitches," Capuano said. "Sometimes I feel bad for guys who are in that one or two slot. Even if theyre pitching well, because of their slot, theres all that pressure and nothing slides." J.A. Happ (4-4) tied a career high by striking out 10. He gave up two earned runs and nine hits in 6 1-3 innings, and fell to 0-3 with a 2.82 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers. "He was in trouble a lot," Houston manager Brad Mills said. "Out of his 10 strikeouts, nine were with runners in scoring position. That tells you right there that he was in trouble almost every inning." Jose Altuve lined Capuanos first pitch of the game past a diving Gwynn in centre field for a triple, and scored when shortstop Dee Gordon made a diving stop of Jed Lowries grounder up the middle and threw him out. "Lowrie hits that ball up the middle and Gordon makes a nice play to stop the inning from continuing to move on. That was a huge play of the game right there," Mills said. "We had something going, and Capuano was still trying to find himself." The Dodgers tied it in the second on a two-out single by Gwynn, then went ahead on Treanors homer. Altuves triple was Houstons only hit until Lowries two-out single in the sixth. Capuanos reflexes took over in the sixth when he knocked down Carlos Lees liner with his glove while diving to the third-base side of the mound and threw him out to strand runners at first and second with the Dodgers leading 2-1. Johnson made two errors on routine grounders by Scott Van Slyke in the fifth inning and Ethier in the seventh. Ethier made it all the way to second base on the second miscue, putting two runners in scoring position with one out, and Hairston scored the Dodgers third run on Xavier Cedenos bases-loaded walk to pinch-hitter Bobby Abreu. NOTES: This was Houstons final regular-season game against the Dodgers before the 51-year-old franchise shifts to the American League next season. Organist Nancy Bea Hefley played "Yellow Rose of Texas" while the Astros starting lineup was announced. ... Cedenos contract was purchased earlier Sunday from Triple-A Oklahoma City after lefty Fernando Abad was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an inntercostal strain on his right side. ' ' '
