Rory Sabbatini had just finished detailing his four consecutive birdies when wife Amy reminded him about the hole before the streak that put him in the lead at the Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, Texas.

"My par on No. 3 was better than any of the birdies," Sabbatini said. "I drove it in the water, then hit a 5-iron in the right greenside bunker, then holed it. Just a regulation par."

That 96-foot par-saving bunker blast at the 528-yard third hole, his 12th of the day, and the birdie quartet came in his season-low round of 6-under-par 64. Sabbatini matched John Mallinger (65) at 8-under 132, a stroke ahead of five players.

Mallinger eagled both par-5s at the TPC Four Seasons, holing a 45-foot shot from the greenside bunker at No. 7 and sinking a 14-foot putt at No. 16.

TENNIS

French Open draw sets up Nadal Rafael Nadal's most recent matches were a loss to Roger Federer and a four-hour struggle to beat Novak Djokovic, so the French Open draw brought a bit of good news for the four-time defending champion. Federer and Djokovic are lined up to meet in the semifinals, meaning the top-seeded Nadal could face no more than one of them as he bids to become the first man to win the clay-court Grand Slam tournament five consecutive years.

Not that Nadal is looking ahead to a potential final in the tournament, which starts Sunday.

"My only pressure is try to play good tennis, try to play well, and later we will see what happens, no?" said Nadal, who is 28-0 at Roland Garros.

Serena and Venus Williams were drawn into opposite sides of the women's tournament and could meet in the championship match.
