On a morning when the wind played havoc for most of the field, Stanford golfer and former Santa Barbara High star Shane Lebow and Levi Garcia managed to shoot under par and share the first-round lead of the Santa Barbara City Golf Championship.
Lebow and Garcia each shot 2-under 68 on a wind-swept morning.
Brandon Gama is in third at 70.
Brian Helton is three shots back at 71, while seven golfers are at 72. Allen Geiberger, last year’s runner-up is tied with four others at 73.
Garcia was the tournament runner-up in 2010, losing by one shot to Andrew Perez.
Tournament play continues on Sunday and finishes on Monday.
