AVONDALE, La. -- Ben Martin made his way through most of the TPC Louisiana course with the type of sparse gallery one would expect for a player who had missed seven cuts in his previous nine starts on the PGA Tour. The few who followed him, including his mother, father and wife, were treated to a round never before seen at the current home of the Zurich Classic. Martins 10-under 62 in Thursdays opening round broke the course record by two strokes, highlighted by a chip-in from 55 feet and two birdie putts of 20 feet or more. "It was one of those days you dream about," Martin said. "I started the round with two birdies in a row and they just kept rolling in." Martin birdied 10 holes and made pars on the rest. His final birdie came on his chip with a 54-degree sand wedge on the par-3 17th hole, which hugs a water hazard and was made more difficult by afternoon winds. Martin said the challenges that hole posed led him to take a conservative tee shot with a 5-iron rather than a longer club, and the way the 26-year-old South Carolina native executed his plan exemplified the type of day he had. "That was just managing my game. I knew that hole was into the wind with water left," Martin said. "I felt like short of the green was a pretty easy chip." He certainly made it look that way. "Really, everything was working well," Martin said. "It was just one of those days, just like you draw it up." The previous record at TPC Louisiana was a 64, accomplished many times, including on Thursday, when Andrew Svoboda did it to take a lead that held up until Martin surged past late in the day. Peter Hanson and Sueng-Yul Noh were tied for third at 65. Last weekend, Martin matched his career best with a third-place tie in the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, S.C. He also finished third in early March in the Puerto Rico Open, but missed four cuts after that. Martin opened the Zurich with a 10-foot birdie putt, the first of six birdies on the front nine, most set up by approach shots within 10 feet. One exception was his 26-foot birdie putt on No. 5. He opened the back nine with a 14-foot birdie putt, made a 10-footer on 11 and a 20-footer on 13. Svoboda birdied six of his last nine holes. Like Martin, the 34-year-old Svoboda has never won on the PGA Tour. While much can change with three rounds left, New Orleans has seen its share of maiden tour triumphs. It has happened in six of the past nine years, and 10 of the past 16. "Ill take that stat," Svoboda said. Svobodas best career finish on the PGA Tour is a tie for 15th at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas in October. Hansons round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 sixth hole, accomplished with a 6-iron from 183 yards. Erik Compton, Chad Collins and Michael Thompson were tied for fifth at 66, and Jeff Overton, Stuart Appleby and Robert Streb followed at 67. Compton, a two-time heart transplant recipient, spent the early part of the week meeting with children at a New Orleans-area hospital and participated in a junior golf clinic. Although that limited his practice time, he thought it helped his mindset. "It seems to really relax me and really puts things in perspective," Compton said. "I seem to play better during the weeks where I have hospital visits." On the par-5 seventh, his 297-yard drive sailed right of the fairway, crossing a cart path. But he belted a 227-yard shot out of the rough to the foot of the green and two-putted for birdie. He ended his round with a 22-foot birdie putt on nine to briefly put him atop the leaderboard. Compton, also winless on the PGA Tour, said he feels "very comfortable" on New Orleans Pete Dye-designed course. "You have to hit a lot of long iron shots and drive it well here, and those are some of the strengths of my game," he said. Philadelphia 76ers Jerseys .

Moses Malone Jersey . -- Wes Welker is unlikely to suit up for Denvers game Thursday against San Diego after leaving Sundays win over Tennessee with his second concussion in four games.DENVER -- The last time he faced his former team, Peyton Mannings emotions and the Indianapolis Colts both got the best of him. Manning shouldnt be nearly as drained or distracted when the Colts visit Denver this weekend. Watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO, tonight at 7pm et/4pm pt. Jim Irsay isnt getting under his skin with talk about how disappointed he was to win just one ring with Manning. And the five-time MVP doesnt have to trouble himself with a pregame tribute -- or Robert Mathis, for that matter. "Well, I think it was different last year going back to Indianapolis," Manning said coolly. In speaking with reporters in both Denver and Indianapolis during the week, Manning didnt elaborate on what it will be like facing his old team again. Instead, he segued right into what an honour it is to play in prime time. "They dont pick bad teams to open up NBC Sunday Night Football, " Manning said. "Theyre not paying all that money to the NFL to put bad teams on." No, but they did pick two teams that are dealing with lots of drama. Injuries have turned the Colts O-line into a turnstile. Indy is without Mathis, the leagues sacks leader last year with 19 1-2, including two of Manning. Mathis was suspended for the first four games for violating the leagues performance enhancing drug policy. "Hes in my opinion the best pass rusher in the NFL, and on top of that, a great leader, great teammate, great person," Andrew Luck said. The Broncos have two prominent players serving four-game banishments: receiver Wes Welker and Pro Bowl kicker Matt Prater, who combined to score 210 points last season. Prater violated the NFLs substance abuse policy by drinking alcohol in the off-season, forbidden since his 2011 DUI arrest, and Welker reportedly tested positive for amphetamine use in violation of the leagues rules forbidding performance-enhancing drugs. Welker has been the games top slot receiver for a decade and Prater was the leagues top kicker last year when he made all but one of his 26 field goal attempts, including a record-breaking 64-yarder. He also led the league by a wide margin with 81 touchbacks. Novice Brandon McManus replaces Prater and the Broncos will likely make up for Welkers absence with a healthy dose of speedy receiver Emmanuel Sanders and backup tight end Jacob Tamme, who restructured his contract Thursday, in the slot. Demaryius Thomas and Cody Latimer can also move inside, with Bubba Caldwell running sideline routes. "Of course were going to miss him," Sanders said. "Hes Wes Welker." If any team is built to weather a loss such as Welkers, however, its the Broncos. "Weve got great respect for Wes," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "But theyve got enough weapons for Peyton." Keep an eye on these other subplots Sunday night: SNAP DECISONS: If Khaled Holmes isnt ready, A.Q. Shipley could start against Denver a week after the Colts claimed the centre off waivers from Baltimore. Holmes returned to practice Wednesday for the first tiime since spraining his left ankle in the preseason opener.ddddddddddddBackup Jonotthan Harrison also practiced after missing all of last week with a right thumb injury. Left guard Jack Mewhort, promoted to starter when Donald Thomas tore his right quadriceps in training camp, has been dealing with a sore right knee. And two of the Colts most versatile backups, Xavier Nixon (knee) hurt. "It does keep happening like a horror movie almost," Luck said. GETTING DEFENSIVE: After coming up one win short last season, Broncos GM John Elway spent more than $100 million on a defensive makeover that includes free agents DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Aqib Talib. Plus, Von Miller, Derek Wolfe, Chris Harris Jr., Rahim Moore and Quinton Carter have returned from injuries that sidelined them at the Super Bowl. "Despite all our offensive productivity and how special our offence is, this town loves our team to play great defence," said co-ordinator Jack Del Rio. "And I look forward to us bringing back some of that Orange Crush feel." Even if they create their own identity on defence, theyll always ride shotgun to Manning, suggested nose tackle Terrance Knighton. "With his resume, it really doesnt matter how good you are on defence," Knighton said. "Its always going to be about Peyton and that offence putting up NFL records on points and yards. We just want to get off the field, get a rhythm going and feed off of them." GETTING DEFENSIVE II: In Miller and Ware, the Broncos have one of the games premier pass-rushing duos. Ware was cut in a salary cap move by the Dallas Cowboys, where he was the franchise leader in sacks. Hes teaming up with Miller, whos coming off a trying year that began with a six-game drug suspension and ended with a torn ACL. Ware is also coming back from an injury-riddled season. Like Miller, he looks primed for a big year. "He doesnt look like a man that should have been cut," Colts tight end Dwayne Allen said. "... Hes playing at an incredibly high level: very active hands, very active feet, destroys tight ends." GETTING DEFENSIVE III: The Broncos are smarting over the timing of Welkers suspension, which came down Tuesday night after the Broncos had drawn up their blueprints for the Colts. "Im sure not sure they really care what I think, but sure, I would like to know maybe before we pick our roster," coach John Fox said. "Look, were disappointed in Wes and we respect the leagues ruling on suspensions. It happens to a lot of people. But I would have liked a little different kind of timing, but ... were moving on." GROUND GAMES: Both teams seek better balance on offence. Second-year bruiser Montee Ball leads a group of running backs in Denver thats never started an NFL game, and the Colts are counting on Trent Richardson to have a bounce-back year. "I think people are really going to enjoy watching him," Luck said. "I think he feels a lot more comfortable with everything."
