GAINESVILLE, Va. – Just a few years ago, Retief Goosen's back was so bad he couldn't walk and didn't know if he would be able to play golf again.
Thursday at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Goosen played like his old self with eight birdies and no bogeys for an 8-under 63 and a share of the early lead at the Quicken Loans National with Ryo Ishikawa.
"I hit a few bad drives on the par 5s, but had a lot of birdie chances out there," Goosen said. "I missed one green in regulation and got that up and down on 12, so it was a solid round of golf.
