Steven Bowditch hadn't been in the interview room after a round to talk with the media in quite a while. Kyle Thompson has been in plenty of interview rooms over the years but had no idea where it was located at the Cox Classic Presented by Lexus of Omaha despite playing in the tournament six times. Bowditch and Thompson know where the media in Omaha hang out now, courtesy of 8-under par 63s that have them sharing the first-round lead in the Nationwide Tour event. Bowditch matched his career-low score by closing with five birdies in his final six holes at the Champions Run course. Thompson, who played in the afternoon and started on the back nine, also birdied five of his final six to grab a share of the lead. "I never thought this course was that easy and every year guys are shooting 59s and 60s and here I am shooting two or three-under and feeling like I played okay," said Thompson, who is making his seventh start in Omaha. "It's just fun again. I've struggled on this course in the past so to play like this today was a lot of fun." Thompson may have turned the corner on his game by learning how to the turn the ball over. After fading the ball for most of his career, the former South Carolina standout recently started working to incorporate a draw into his resume. http://www.pgatour.com/2010/tournaments/h059/07/29/rd1-wrap/
