SAN DIEGO, Jan 26 (Reuters) – Kyle Stanley was one of
\nseveral players who took advantage of a picture postcard day on
\nthe California coastline, charging into a share of the lead in
\nThursday’s first round at the Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

With hardly a breath of wind at a sun-splashed Torrey Pines,
\nthe big-hitting American fired a sizzling 10-under-par 62 on the
\nNorth Course, one of two layouts hosting the fourth PGA Tour
\nevent of the year.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Stanley, a PGA Tour rookie last year, recorded nine birdies,
\none bogey and an eagle at the par-five last to finish level with
\ncompatriot Spencer Levin, who also started out on the North
\nlayout.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill Haas, last year’s FedExCup champion, opened with a 63
\non the North while three-times winner and local fan favourite
\nPhil Mickelson was left shaking his head after battling to a
\nfive-over 77 on the more difficult South Course.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“A round like today gives you confidence that you’re doing
\nthe right things,” Stanley told reporters after hitting an
\nexquisite eight-iron from 173 yards to three feet to set up his
\neagle at the 18th.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I know it was a 62, but it was a pretty boring round of
\ngolf. I hit a lot of greens and made a lot of putts.
