JACKSON, Miss. -- Kevin Streelman wasnt the only one who took advantage of nearly ideal conditions at Jackson County Club.The 37-year-old did it a little better than everyone else, though, finishing with a 9-under 63 for a two-shot lead after the first round of the Sanderson Farms Championship.Streelman made 10 birdies Thursday, including eight in an 11-hole stretch. With more good weather forecast for the next three days, he said the low scores will have to keep coming if he wants to have a shot at winning the tournament.When you get PGA Tour players on great greens with great conditions and theres a fair amount of wedges in our hands on this golf course -- theyre going to make some birdies, Streelman said.Trey Mullinax, Seamus Power and Carl Pettersson all shot 65 to sit two shots behind Streelman. Seven others -- including Lucas Glover and Camilo Villegas -- were among those three shots back.Defending champion Peter Malnati shot a 71. Of the 132 players, 100 shot even par or better.Streelman is a two-time PGA Tour winner, with his last victory in 2014 at the Travelers Championship. He missed the cut two weeks ago in the season-opening Safeway Open.Streelman said he wasnt planning on playing at Sanderson Farms until his poor performance in California. Its been a good decision so far: The 9-under 63 is his career-low score in relation to par. He shot an 8-under 62 at the Travelers in 2008.It was pretty flawless ball-striking to be honest, Streelman said. Hit a lot of fairways.Mullinax -- a rookie making his fifth career PGA Tour start -- was among the others who took advantage of the forgiving course to post a low score. The 24-year-old finished tied for 22nd at the Safeway Open two weeks ago and continued to play well in Jackson.The goal this week was to give myself the best chance to win, and today was a good start, Mullinax said. We have three days left.The 29-year-old Power is making just his second start on the PGA Tour. He finished 15th at the Olympics while playing for Ireland over the summer and said the experience helped give him confidence.The biggest thing to remember is Im not going to win the tournament at 7 under, Power said. Im going to have to get to 20-under, so thats the overall goal you have to get to and then see what happens from there.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP Mariners Jerseys 2019 .

Australias mystified captain Steven Smith apologised to travelling supporters for having to witness an ugly 3-0 defeat, before saying the touring batsmen and spin bowlers had a lot of thinking to do about their cricket in Asian conditions ahead of next years trip to India.The visiting batsmen fell in an unruly heap on the final day of the series after reaching a platform of 100 for 1, mirroring their first innings slide from 267 for 1 to 379 all out. Smith, who was out when trying to cut Rangana Herath off the stumps for the second time in the series, said recurring problems for the batsmen and the spinners Nathan Lyon and Jon Holland were the major problems to arise from a contest in which the pacemen Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood had done well.Its a hard one to grasp really, its been a very tough series again, that is our third straight whitewash loss in the subcontinent, Smith said. What we are doing isnt working. Batters arent adapting to the conditions, spin bowlers arent adapting to the conditions. I cant fault our quicks, I thought they did a great job, particularly Starc, but our batters and spinners are the ones who have to step up in these conditions and we havent been able to do that.We have been outplayed in every facet of the game, our plans havent worked as individuals or as a collective group, we havent been able to put Sri Lanka under as much pressure as we would have liked.Smith explained the selection of the allrounder Moises Henriques who was out twice cheaply and bowled only two overs in the defeat having come into the side in place of Usman Khawaja. He was picked pretty much as a batsman, he said. He can obviously bowl a little bit. Mitch Marsh is the allrounder in the team.In these conditions, it is the spinners job to get the majority of the wickets as the Sri Lankan spinners did, we just havent been able to do that. The selectors are there to do the job and I back whatever they go with. Were here to do a job and in this series and we havent been able to do that.Reflecting on where the series was won and lost, Smith haarked back to the first innings of the first Test at Pallekele, when Australia bowled Sri Lanka out for 117 but then failed to capitalise in being rolled over for just 203 in response.dddddddddddd Sri Lanka were then granted a lead through the brilliance of Kusal Mendis, and never again surrendered the initiative.That was a great opportunity for us, Smith said. I thought we did particularly well that first day to bowl them out for 117, and then a lead of 86 in that first innings wasnt good enough. We had another chance to go really big and put the Sri Lankan batters under a bit of pressure and we werent able to do that. Since then we havent really fought our way back. Its been difficult, weve batted second in every game weve played, and youre always behind the game knowing you have to bat last in these conditions. That first innings of the series did hurt us.Australia have committed enormous resources to trying to educate players in Asian conditions, whether sending Australia A and the National Performance Squad to India or installing a spin wicket at the National Cricket Centre. But Smith said that the surface was only a rough approximation of what his men had faced in Sri Lanka.Id love the wickets to be as they were back in the old days when the SCG broke up and reverse swung and spun late in the game, Adelaide the same, Smith said. Its harder with Adelaide now as a drop-in wicket to get that same surface up. Even when the wickets are turning back home theyre different to the subcontinent wickets.Theyve always got a little bit more bounce than the wickets over here. Its hard to replicate anything you get in the subcontinent back home. Weve got the spinning wicket at the NCC, Ive had a bat on that and it spins, but theres probably too much bounce for what you get in the subcontinent. So its hard to replicate what youre going to get but Id like as much as we can to get the Shield wickets back to the old days as such. ' ' '
