Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Harold Varner III are tied atop the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open leaderboard after shooting opening-round 64s.
Martin Laird and J.T. Poston are one stroke behind at six under. A group of five golfers, spearheaded by Bubba Watson, shot a five-under 66. The Phoenix Open course played forgiving for the vast majority of the field, with 89 golfers shooting even par or better.
“The thing about this course, I haven't played it that great, even though I like it tee to green,” Thomas said, per Brentley Romine of Golf Channel.
