Suddenly, it's 2019! The PGA Tour reloads after the FedEx Cup, starting the 2019 season on October 1. The Safeway Open in Napa, CA features three Dukie PGA Tour members. Kevin Streelman finishes the first round with three straight birdies and a -4 68, tied for 22nd. Ryan Blaum and newly minted tour player Wes Roach shoot -1 scores of 71 and will need to rally to make the cut.

In other news, Phil Mickelson, panned far and wide for his Ryder Cup performance, shoots a -7 score of 65, good for third place. Oldster Fred Couples (much younger than Ol' Sage) is at +1.

The 2019 LPGA Tour does not begin until January.
