William McGirt, Mackenzie Hughes share lead at Players Championship

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Canadian rookie Mackenzie Hughes played bogey-free in his debut at the Players Championship and shot a 5-under 67 to share the lead with William McGirt.

Hughes already has won in his first PGA Tour season at Sea Island. He had one of only four bogey-free rounds at TPC Sawgrass. McGirt had a pair of eagles on the back nine for his 67.

Among those at 68 were Spain's Jon Rahm.

As usual, the Stadium Course packed plenty of excitement -- an ace of the island green for Masters champion Sergio Garcia -- and plenty of punishment.
