The field is packed at the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship, but Rory McIlroy and Joel Dahmen stand above the rest after Round 1.
McIlroy and Dahmen carded a five-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over the field following Thursday's first round. Adam Schenk, Martin Laird, Patrick Reed, Nick Taylor and Dylan Frittelli are currently tied for third place at four under.
McIlroy did the entirety of his damage on the back nine, making the turn at even par before going on a tear that sent him rocketing up the leaderboard. He had back-to-back birdies on Nos.
