ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Chris Kirk went eight years between PGA Tour victories and looks like he doesn’t want to wait that long for the next one. He won the Honda Classic on Sunday and has been going nonstop ever since. That didn’t keep him from a 67 in the opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational for a share of the early lead with Cameron Young. Only 12 players from the morning broke 70. Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy played in the afternoon. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth were in the group one shot behind.
