Streelman, Whitney, Hoey Lead in Mexico Championship

In the first round of the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos, Mexico, Kevin Streelman, Tom Whitney, and Rico Hoey each shot 5-under 67 to share the lead amid challenging windy conditions at Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal. Streelman, who hasn't won on the PGA Tour since 2014, began his round with an eagle and a birdie, describing the course as tiring due to the wind. Whitney expressed satisfaction with his score, acknowledging the difficulty of the course. Defending champion Erik van Rooyen trailed closely with a score of 68. Nico Echavarria, the recent Zozo Championship winner, opened with a solid 69, marking a strong start despite the windy conditions.
