Players Championship 2021: Sergio Garcia Holds 2-Stroke Lead After Round 1

Sergio Garcia first won The Players Championship in 2008. He's on the prowl for a second.

Garcia shot a seven-under 65 on Thursday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, taking a two-stroke lead in the clubhouse as play was suspended because of darkness. Brian Harman (-5) and three players at four under—Matthew Fitzpatrick, Corey Conners and Shane Lowry—are nipping at his heels.

The majority of the field was able to get in a full round before play was halted.
