Angel Cabrera posted a bogey-free, 6-under 64 to set the early pace Friday at the Sanford International in Sioux Falls, S.D.

The 56-year-old from Argentina birdied three holes on each nine at Minnehaha Country Club, including Nos. 16 and 18, to card his low number.

Cabrera, a two-time major winner on the PGA Tour Champions this season, could jump into the top five in the Charles Schwab Cup points race with a win or a strong finish this week. He entered seventh in the standings.

He's one stroke ahead of South Africa's Retief Goosen, who birdied Nos. 10, 12, 14 and 16 for a late surge in his round of 65.

Tied for third are Bo Van Pelt, New Zealand's Steven Alker and South Africa's Retief Goosen at 66. Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez, the Schwab Cup leader, is among five players tied at 67.

John Daly signed for an 18-over-par 88 after scoring a 19 at the par-5 12th hole. He took seven penalty strokes in completing the hole.
