    Robin Freeman's Oklahoma roots would seem to make him the perfect golfer to handle the gusts whipping through the high plains this week.

    "It would be, but I haven't been to Oklahoma in 30 years," Freeman quipped after shooting a 6-under 66 Thursday for a share of the first-round lead at the 71st PGA Senior Championship at Colorado Golf Club.

    Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer also took advantage of an early tee time before the winds whipped up and dried out the greens, firing a 66 on the piney 3-year-old private course.

    Tom Lehman was the notable exception among the leaders, teeing off in the afternoon and carding a 68 to sit two shots back, along with Brad Bryant, of Amarillo, Texas.

    Lehman was at 5-under when his tee shot on No. 18 found the rough, and he bogeyed.
