Price sitting pretty in US qualifying

Welsh Ryder Cup player Phillip Price lies joint second after the first round of the US Tour qualifying school in California, with Ireland's Richie Coughlan and Keith Nolan well down the field.

After starting with a bogey, Price picked up shots at the fourth and seventh and then had four more in a row from the 11th for a five-under-par 67. It put him only one behind American Scott Gump.
