To Kite, 60-something is his age and his score
PARKER, Colo. (AP) -Tom Kite doesn't mind that the thin air, hilly terrain and erratic wind gusts at the Colorado Golf Club conspire to favor the younger golfers on the senior circuit such as Fred Couples.
Kite still considers himself a whippersnapper after celebrating his 60th birthday in December, a point that's hard to argue as he sits in second place halfway through the 71st Senior PGA Championship, a single stroke behind Couples.
Couples shot a 4-under 68 on Friday, putting him at 7 under after 36 holes. He had the best round of the day despite teeing off in the afternoon, when the winds picked up after a lull.
Tom Lehman (71) is two strokes behind Couples, and Lu Chien-soon (70) and Jay Don Blake (69) are tied for fourth, three shots back.
