GREENSBORO, N.C. – Let’s be honest, there is no bad place to claim one’s first PGA Tour victory, but if William McGirt had the chance to be picky the Wyndham Championship would be on his short list for the breakthrough.
McGirt, who was born in Lumberton, N.C., and now lives in South Carolina, got off to a quick start in his attempt to fulfill that Carolina dream, shooting an 8-under 62 to grab a share of the early lead with Erik Compton on Thursday.
“If there was one place I could get my first win here or at Charlotte or Hilton Head,” McGirt said.
