Adamonis up, Quigley out at Buick

The three Rhode Islanders scheduled to play in this week's PGA Tour event, the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines in San Diego, had very different days today.

Tour rookie Brad Adamonis continued his strong start, firing a 6-under 66 on the North Course to tie for second place, one behind leader Troy Matteson. Tiger Woods, playing the South Course, the layout that will be used for this year's U.S. Open, is among those in a tie for third at 67.

Warwick's Patrick Sheehan also played the South Course and shot a 73, which left him in a tie for 74th.

Barrington's Brett Quigley, who was scheduled to make his seasonal debut, had to withdraw. He had a cyst on his spine lanced and was unable to play.

As it is, Quigley has been out since September after surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. He will play the early part of the year on a medical exemption. He won more than $700,000 but finished about $63,000 out of the top 125. If Quigley earns $63,000 in his first six events, he will regain full playing privileges.
