PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Camilo Villegas was on the phone the day before the Players Championship trying to sort out his swing with a coach who is in Singapore caddying at a LIV Golf event. He wound up tied for the lead, a peculiar twist in a tournament filled with them.
Thursday was no exception.
Lucas Glover had nine birdies in his round of 6-under 66, leaving him tied with Villegas and J.J. Spaun, who managed to get around TPC Sawgrass without a bogey.
Max McGreevy, who tied the tournament record for the highest score two years ago with an 89, had a chance to join them.
