Vu (64) leads LPGA Ford; Korda, Thitikul 2 back

Francesco Molinari and D.A. Points each recorded a hole-in-one at the par-three seventh at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in central Florida on Thursday, doubling in one day the number of aces at the hole in the past 40 years. British Open champion Molinari used a four-iron on a cool morning at the 203-yard hole, while Points brought out his six-iron in warmer afternoon conditions at Bay Hill. quot;Just flushed it straight at the flag and luckily it went in,” Italian Molinari told reporters after a three-under-par 69 that left him four shots behind first round leader Rafa Cabrera Bello.

Billy Horschel played steady down the stretch and defeated Jason Day in a playoff card his first win in nearly three years.
