CARY, N.C. — Larry Nelson shot his age for a share of the lead in the SAS Championship, while Nick Faldo failed to finish the round in his first regular Champions Tour event.
The 66-year-old Nelson had a 6-under-par 66 Friday to join Russ Cochran and Mark Mouland atop the leaderboard at Prestonwood.
Faldo withdrew after 12 holes because of an elbow injury. He tweaked a torn capsule in his left elbow when he made a gesture during a putt on No. 6. The six-time major champion was on the 13th tee at 1-over when he shook hands with playing partners Kenny Perry and Tom Kite and walked off the course.
