Jhonattan Vegas, Dean Wilson, Joe Ogilvie and Kyle Stanley posted three-under 67s in the morning and share third place. Vegas posted the lone bogey-free round of the day.
Scott was one of six players -- along with Trevor Immelman, Lucas Glover, Steve Marino, Hunter Mahan and Aronimink member Sean O'Hair -- that competed at Aronimink in the 1997 U.S. Junior Amateur and are also playing this week.
At the par-four 10th, Scott's drive found the right rough, and his second made it to the right fringe. However, he three-putted for bogey from there to slip back to minus-two.
"I think the key to my round was hitting a lot of fairways, which gave me an opportunity to hit the greens. The few fairways that I did miss, I didn't get into too much trouble," Scott stated. "It was kind of a stress-free round, which is a nice way to start."
The 34-year-old Haas dropped his tee shot inside three feet on the 14th and made that for birdie to move to minus-two. He ran home a 32-footer for birdie on 15 and made it four in a row with an up-and-down birdie on the 16th.
His second found the chipping area right of the green. From there, he played his third to 14 feet and two-putted for bogey to slide back into a share of the lead. Haas parred the last two to remain there.
The other five that played the U.S. Junior here with Scott are outside the top 10 after one round. Glover withdrew after nine holes citing illness, Immelman carded a one-under 69, Marino posted an even-par 70, Mahan stumbled to a two- over 72 and O'Hair struggled to a six-over 76 that included a seven-over 42 on his opening nine, the back nine.
Bandon, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cheyenne Woods put on a near-record performance, besting Alex Stewart, 8 & 7, to reach the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, nearly matched the 9 & 7 posted four different times in tournament history, with the last coming in 2006. She moved on to face Annie Park, who beat Julie Yang, 1-up, at Bandon Dunes' Bandon Trails course.
Do will face Stephanie Kono, a 2 & 1 winner over Catherine Dolan.
Woods and Stewart halved the first two holes, but Woods won the next eight to all but seal the outcome. Stewart bogeyed Nos. 3 and 4, and Woods' birdie at the fifth put her ahead, 3-up.

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).
Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.
Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).
Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.
Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.
The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.
What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.
Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.
But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.
In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
