PALM HARBOR, FL (October 30, 2017) - Following day one the Society of Seniors Championship hosted by Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club Allen Barber is the only player under-par and the leader by four.

Barber, the 12th ranked player in the Senior AmateurGolf.com Player of the Year Rankings, opened with a 3-under 68. Following a par on No. 1 Barber got his round going with the first of his four birdies on the 2nd hole. Additional birdies on Nos. 4, 6 and 10 followed as Barber reached 4-under. He remained there until he dropped his only shot of the day on the 15th.

So far this season Barber has seven top-10 finishes in senior ranking events but is still in search of his first win of the year. His best 2017 finish so far was a tied for third at the Canadian Senior Amateur.

Stephan Maddalena is second at 1-over, fourth-ranked senior Keith Decker is third at 2-over while No. 5 Steve Hudson, Richard Kerper, Emile Vaughan and John Fritz are tied for fourth at 4-over.
