Pierceson Coody, who won on the Korn Ferry Tour for the second time in his career just two-and-a-half weeks ago, looked unfazed Thursday in his first start on the PGA Tour as a professional.
Coody opened with a bogey-free 4-under 66 to sit one shot back of the first-round leaders, appearing calm throughout his opening round.
“It really just feels like another professional event,” Coody said. “I've only played about 13 or 14 professional or I guess, whatever, 15 events. But other than the big grandstands it's not that different. You're just playing golf. You're trying to put a good score together.
