Azinger cautious despite fine day

Paul Azinger congratulated his players on a first American opening-day Ryder Cup lead for 13 years but warned there was still a long way to go at Valhalla.

The United States captain saw his team compile a 51/2-21/2 over three-time defending champions Europe at the end of the first day’s play in Kentucky, the first time since 1995 at Oak Hill that the United States has led after the first day.
