Supersub Gronberg shares lead

Swede Mathias Gronberg, called in when Nick Faldo withdrew because of an illness in his family, shared the early first-round lead in the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The former European Tour winner, who celebrates his 36th birthday on Sunday, had five birdies in his first 12 holes to be alongside Japan’s Daisuke Maruyama - another graduate of last December’s US Tour qualifying school.
