Super 60 sets Price on his way

After firing a Champions Tour record-equalling round of 60 on Day 1 of the Toshiba Classic in California, Nick Price held on for a wire-to-wire victory.
Price backed up his superb first round with two further rounds of 68 for a -17 total, one shot clear of America's Mark Wiebe, who carded rounds of 65, 65 and 67.
Wiebe, in fact, had an opportunity to tie for a play-off but missed his birdie chance at the 54th hole, and thus guaranteed Price his fourth career Champions Tour title.
Defending champion Fred Couples finished in a tie for fifth place with Brad Bryant and Robert Thompson, four strokes off the lead.
