Aug 18 (Reuters) - Rafa Cabrera-Bello boosted his Ryder Cup hopes with a sizzling start at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina on Thursday.
The long-hitting Spaniard bagged an eagle and five birdies for seven-under-par 63 in the first round at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro.
He shared the lead with American Kevin Na with half the field back in the clubhouse, two strokes ahead of Englishman Luke Donald, New Zealander Danny Lee and American Derek Fathauer.
Cabrera-Bello received an invitation to play in Greensboro where he arrived in good form, coming off a tie for fifth at the Olympic golf in Rio.
