08/21/2008 - Moscow, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Greg Chalmers and Chris Tidland both fired rounds of seven-under 63 on Thursday to share the opening-round lead of the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic.
Rick Price posted a six-under 64 and is alone in third at Elmhurst Country Club.
Mark Brooks, the 1996 PGA Champion, and Greg Owen are knotted in fourth place at minus-five.
Chalmers teed off No. 10 first in the afternoon after Tidland's 63 was posted. Chalmers broke into red figures with a birdie at 11 and the Australian added birdies at Nos. 14 and 17.
After he made the turn, Chalmers used two sets of back-to-back birdies to match Tidland in first. Chalmers rattled off two birdies in a row from the third and from the seventh for his share of the first-round lead.
"It was as perfect as it could be for playing golf today. It was just absolutely perfect," said Chalmers. "I was just fortunate today I kept it under the hole and made some nice putts at the same time."
Tidland played the course in proper order and recorded his first birdie at the par-four third. He fired off three straight birdies from the fifth to really get his round going and suddenly found himself at five-under par after a birdie at 11.
Tidland hit a wedge to 10 feet to set up a quick birdie putt at 17.
"I was literally trying to hit the putt six inches and it just wiggled down," said Tidland. "It looked like it was going to miss and then it drifted in. It was one of those days where that kind of putt is falling."
Tidland closed with a final birdie at 18.
"I just played solid on the front," said Tidland. "I've been playing okay, nothing great. This round was just some made putts at some key times and some nice up-and-downs of ones that I wouldn't normally be getting."
Sebastian Fernandez, Jeff Klauk, Tee McCabe, Dustin Bray, Bubba Dickerson, Jeff Brehaut, Scott Piercy, Cameron Percy, Bradley Iles and Lee Curry share sixth place at four-under 66.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
