BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Richard Bland of LIV Golf is making his senior major debut and making the most of it. Bland played bogey-free at Harbor Shores for a 64. That gives him a share of the first-round lead with Richard Green on Australia in the Senior PGA Championship. Bland was eligible last year for a one-time exemption from a European tour win in the last five years. But he was playing a LIV Golf event that week. The PGA of America honored the exemption this year. Defending champion Steve Stricker and Mike Weir were in the group two shots behind.
