PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Down to his last chance to earn a PGA Tour card, Ashley Hall opened the Web.com Tour Championship with his second-best score of the year -- even though he called a penalty on himself when he noticed his ball slightly move. Hall bounced back from that penalty shot to birdie two of his last three holes for a 7-under 63 on the Valley Course at the TPC Sawgrass. That gave him a one-shot lead Thursday over Robert Karlsson of Sweden and Mark Anderson, who already is assured his PGA Tour card. Karlsson, a former Ryder Cup player, also needs a big week to get back PGA Tour card back. The Web.com Tour Championship is the last of four tournaments for 25 players to earn PGA Tour cards for the 2013-14 season. The top 25 are decided by a money list from the four tournaments. Players who already finished in the top 25 on the Web.com Tour money list from the regular season are assured a card. Hall was in dire need of a round like this. The 29-year-old Australian had a chance to earn his card from the Web.com Tour money list last month until he missed the cut in the final regular-season event and missed out on the top 25 by $1,922. If that wasnt bad enough, he missed the cut in the last three events. Because of rain all week and still some in the forecast, players competed under preferred lies. Hall placed his ball in the 15th fairway, and after grounding his club, noticed the ball move slightly downward. He called for an official and gave himself a one-shot penalty for his only bogey of the round. "I put it on a good a lie and the Bermuda grass wasnt strong enough," he said. "I could tell as soon as I put my club on the ground that I moved the ball." Hall has never had a PGA Tour card and would need a top finish this week at Sawgrass. "Its going to be nice to get out in the morning," he said. "Hopefully, it is still soft." Karlsson is only slightly better off. He was at No. 72 on the special money list -- about 22 spots away from getting one of the 25 cards on offer -- was nearly $13,000 away from at least having a mathematical chance at his card. "A couple of years ago I didnt want to step foot on a golf course," the Swede said. "But now Im playing well and had a good run recently." Karlsson opened with five birdies in seven holes and kept bogeys off his card on a cloudy day at PGA Tour headquarters. "Its quite a tricky course," Karlsson said. "Its typical Pete Dye, you have to use all the clubs in your bag. I really like it." Anderson, who earned his card by finishing No. 8 on the regular-season money list, also opened with a 64. He aced the 202-yard 14th hole with a 4-iron. "Its all about improving your position because these finals events are extremely important," Anderson said. "If you can get that exempt status and get into The Players thats a tremendous advantage and a nice perk." Shane Bertsch, at No. 97 on the special money list, joined Chesson Hadley at 65. The group at 66 included Henrik Norlander and Billy Hurley III, both of whom need a strong finish to get their cards. It was a rough start for Steve Wheatcroft, who didnt make a single birdie in his round of 74 and was in danger of making the cut. Wheatcroft came into the Web.com Tour Championship holding down the 25th spot on the money list among players who dont already have a card. If he fails to make the cut Friday, he is assured of not getting a tour card for next year. Vaughn Taylor, another former Ryder Cup player, was 21st on the list of those who dont have a card. He opened with a 71 and was outside the cut line. The top 60 and ties make the cut on the Web.com Tour. The field over the last month was for the top 75 players from the Web.com Tour and players who finished No. 126 through 200 in the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour.

Panuphol, the overnight leader, shot a 4-under 68 for a two-round total of 13-under 131, a stroke ahead of Scott Hend of Australia, David Lipsky of the United States, and Felipe Aguilar of Chile in a tie for second place. The Thai, ranked 451st in the world, has never won on the European Tour and missed his last three cuts this year on the Asian Tour. "The two birdies in my last three holes were nice to end off my round," he said. "Its nice to be putting myself in a good position heading into the last two rounds. I would rather stay up there than to be chasing the lead actually. I just want to grab my chance and not let it go." Hend had eight birdies and just one bogey to shoot a 7-under 65, the low round of the day. The Australian, whos also looking for his first European Tour title, said it was difficult to stay focused in the hot, humid conditions at Singapores Laguna National golf course. "I am used to this kind of weather but it still comes to a point where your body just cannot take it and it makes you lose concentration,," he said.dddddddddddd "Im managing well so far. Two more rounds to go and we will see what happens." Aguilar, playing with a sore wrist after a recent mountain biking accident, birdied his last three holes to card a 67. "(The wrist) doesnt bother me much, but I still have pain. It will be there for the next four or five months," he said. "Everything you do is dangerous so you have to be careful, but Im playing good golf because Im happy, and so the mountain biking helps." Anders Hansen is also returning from a wrist injury that required surgery and kept him off the tour for six months last year. He missed the cut at his first two events this year, but finished in a tie for fifth last week at the China Open. The Danish golfer shot a 66 on Friday to move into a share of fifth place at 11 under, two strokes off the pace. He dropped a stroke on his final hole when he three-putted for bogey. "Its always hard coming back after an injury," he said. "Ive never had six months off before so I didnt know what to expect. It was tough the first four rounds I played, the first two in Spain and Malaysia, but then last week something kicked in and it has carried on this week." ' ' '
