            PALM  BEACH  GARDENS,
            Fla.  (AP)  —  Ryan  Palmer
            has reason to believe that
            better  days  are  ahead,
            with his golf game and at
            home.
            Palmer made seven birdies
            Friday  on  another  day  of
            ideal scoring conditions at
            PGA National for a 5-under
            65  that  gave  him  a  share
            of the lead with PGA Tour
            rookie  Wesley  Bryan  (67)
            going into the weekend at
            the Honda Classic.
            Rickie  Fowler  was  a  shot
            back  after  his  second  66,
            and Anirban Lahiri was an-
            other stroke behind after a
            68.
            Starting a new year packed
            with uncertainty over mat-
            ters  far  more  important
            than golf, Palmer returned          Rockets rout Pelicans, DeMarcus Cousins 129-99
            from  a  four-month  break
            and  missed  the  cut  in  his
            first four events. He signed
            up for Riviera only because                                                                         New  Orleans  Pelicans  forward  DeMarcus
            his  game  needed  work,                                                                            Cousins (0) pats forward Anthony Davis (23)
