This week: PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational, Thursday through Sunday, Bay Hill Club and Lodge, Orlando, Fla.

First-round score: 2-over-par 72.

Position: Stanley is tied for 58th, seven strokes behind leader Jason Gore (65).

Recap: It might end up being an insignificant achievement in what could end up being a fruitful career, but for the first time – even for a brief moment – the Gig Harbor product held a share of the lead during a round of a PGA Tour event. After birdies on Nos. 12 and 14, the Clemson junior was in front at 2-under. It disappeared after he had to lay up on the para-4 16th from the rough, and hit his third shot in the greenside rough, leading to a double bogey. Late bogeys at Nos. 7 and 8 pushed him down the leaderboard. Still, Stanley's start was three strokes better than his birdie-less 75 at the 2007 Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Tee time Friday: 11:04 a.m. PDT off the first tee.
