Brendan Steele held on to his early clubhouse lead to win the first round of the Canadian Open after shooting a 7-under 65, with no golfer in the afternoon grouping able to crack the top five of the $5.6-million PGA Tour event. Joe Affrunti came closest. His 4-under 68 performance tied him for seventh. "Today was probably the most complete round that Ive had all year, so that was kind of nice," said Steele. "Didnt miss many greens, didnt hit many shots off line, and I was able to roll a few putts in." The 30-year-old Steele played consistent golf over the par-72, 7,253-yard Glen Abbey Golf Course, only bogeying the par-4 ninth hole. Steele had eight birdies, five on the front nine alone. Scott Gardiner, Matt Kuchar and Scott Brown all tied for second, one shot off the pace. Gardiner was tied for first after eagleing on the par-3 15th hole, but he bogeyed on the next hole to drop back into a tie with Kuchar and Brown. "Actually, didnt hit that bad a drive on 16, and went left and got stuck behind a tree and had to lay up," said Gardiner. "And then I hit a pretty good (shot), I missed a four foot putt. That was a struggle, but the rest of the shots I was fairly happy with. But then a couple of the tee shots there on the last." Ottawas Brad Fritsch was the top Canadian after a 3-under 69 performance. He birdied his final three holes to pass David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., on the leaderboard. Hearn finished 2 under. "I think I hit less than 50 per cent of the fairways, but I think thats just the nature of this golf course," said Fritsch. "I looked like I got some horrendous bounces. When I was expecting one way, it went the other, and that led to a little bit of frustration. But I stayed patient." Fritsch was pleased with his performance, especially with an afternoon start time on a day where temperatures reached 23 C. "I made an unforced bogey on No. 2, which is a birdie hole. Got off to a bad start," said Fritsch. "But I made six birdies. So out here in the afternoon, thats pretty good when 156 players have been on the greens already." David Lingmerth and Hunter Mahan tied for fifth after going 5-under par. "I did okay in my opening nine. Just didnt hit it great," said Mahan, who started his round at No. 10. "Didnt give myself a lot of great looks at birdie, but certainly on 1 and 2, I got some momentum on my side and hit it good after that. "Gave myself a lot of good looks and the greens were rolling true. Its in great shape right now. In the morning well have perfect conditions." Many notable names in the tournament showed signs of fatigue after last weeks British Open. Scott Piercy, last years Canadian Open champion, finished in a group tied for 41st after going 1 under. Ernie Els was also in that group, while two-time Canadian Open champion Jim Furyk shot at even par to tie for 69th. Luke Donald (73) was 1 over and Graeme McDowell (76) was in a group tied for 141st at 4 over. "It was fun to be out here. It was perfect conditions," said Kuchar. "I feel like last week, conditions were so challenging and so difficult at the British Open to come here and to play golf that is more friendly and more what were used to the PGA Tour was great." Amateur Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., almost finished the day as the top Canadian after eagleing on the 16th hole. Unfortunately, he bogeyed on his final two holes to finish at 1-under 71 in a tie with Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C. Still, Conners was the top amateur on the day. "It was great. I had myself in some tricky spots but was able to save shots by getting the ball up and down and making some key putts," said Conners. "Felt pretty good out there. Disappointed to bogey the last two, had a real nice round going but overall still a great round." Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., struggled in the morning group, triple bogeying on the par-4 14th hole. He recovered on his final five holes to finish the round at par. He wasnt the only Canadian to have trouble on the course. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., and Eric Banks of Truro, N.S., both shot a 73, while Calgarys Stephen Ames, Peter Laws of Milton, Ont., and Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., all had a 74. Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C., and Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, B.C., tied after shooting identical scores of 3-over 75. Amateur Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., shot a 76. Victorias Kevin Carrigan, Torontos Albin Choi and Bryn Parry of North Vancouver, B.C., all shot 77, while Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., had a 78. Brian Hadley of Sarnia, Ont., finished with a 79.

Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State.

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have a meeting scheduled for Wednesday in New York -- one day before the leagues annual board of governors session -- as they inch closer to striking a new labor agreement, according to league sources.The meeting is the latest signal, sources told ESPN, that a new deal to avoid a work stoppage is looming in the near future.Sources say there is rising optimism on both sides of the bargaining table that the basic framework of a deal can be achieved as early as this month.The current collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the NBAPA runs through June 2021, with both sides holding the right until Dec. 15 to express an intent to opt out in 2017.But NBA commissioner Adam Silver said last week that he expects the parties to come to terms on a new CBA before the opt-out deadline.Both sides have been very engaged and eager to get a deal done, Silver said.Speaking in China last week ahead of the 10th annual Global Games, Silver revealed that he spoke to Roberts during a recent league visit to Spain and said he would continue to pursue a fast resolution with the Players Association that avoids a lockout or any loss of games.Negotiations on the last CBA led to a five-month work sstoppage that lasted until December 2011 and shortened the 2011-12 season by 16 games, marking only the second time in league history that a labor impasse led to a reduced schedule.

So the best thing to do is really figure it out sooner rather than later.We want to try to get something done. I think the NBA and the owners are very receptive to that, and we are, too. I think [in the 2011 negotiation] we were so far away from each other. You can feel the difference, you can see the difference, you can see the reaction, you can see the contact were having, the information thats being sent on both sides. I think were closer to getting something done. Hopefully itll get done soon.ESPN.coms Chris Haynes, Brian Windhorst, Marc J. Spears and Marc Stein contributed to this report.
