ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Darren Clarke, Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh shared the lead at 7-under 65 on Friday in the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open, with four more major champions right behind at En-Joie Golf Club.

Padraig Harrington and Duffy Waldorf followed at 66, and Ernie Els, Mike Weir, Y.E. Yang and Brandt Jobe shot 67. Waldorf and Jobe are the only non-major winners in the top nine.

Clarke won the Senior Open Championship last month at Gleneagles.

“It’s nice to win any time, but obviously winning a senior major was more special and I feel good about my game right now,” Clarke said. “That’s not to say I’ll have another couple days like I did today, but I’m going to do my best.”

Singh opened birdie-birdie-eagle.

“Played nicely, kept the ball in play, which you need on this golf course,” Singh said. “Just tried to make a lot of birdies.”
