With overnight rains leading to lift, clean and place conditions for the opening round of the Wyndham Championship, players took full advantage. Here’s how things look after the first day at soggy Sedgefield Country Club, where three share the lead but a certain 14-time major winner lurks just off the pace:
Leaderboard: Erik Compton (-8), William McGirt (-8), Tom Hoge (-8), Morgan Hoffmann (-7), Derek Ernst (-7), Jim Herman (-7), Tiger Woods (-6), Martin Kaymer (-6)
What it means: Birdies were plentiful during the first round, as more than half of the field shot 68 or better.
