With the family of his recently deceased caddie at his side and his own son now on his bag, Steven Alker just keeps churning

Pardon Steven Alker if his emotions get a hold of him at some point this week. It’s only natural.

With his son, Ben, making his debut on his bag and family members of fallen caddie Sam Workman in attendance at The Woodlands Country Club, Alker fired a 66 during Friday’s first round of the Insperity Invitational, moving to the top of a packed leaderboard alongside Justin Leonard and Colin Montgomerie.
