Matt Every holds a slight lead over Rory McIlroy through Day 1 at the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational after shooting 65 Thursday.
The two-time champion at this event had seven birdies and no bogeys in his first round to finish seven strokes under par at Bay Hill Golf Course in Orlando, Florida. That gave him a one-stroke lead over the No. 1 golfer in the world rankings.
The tournament has a loaded field with eight of the top 10 in the current FedEx Cup standings, plus other big names such as Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler, which could lead to a lot of drama throughout the week with the Players Championship on the horizon.
