Sanderson Farms Championship 2021, Jackson, MS: 30th Sept - 3rd Oct, Day One
Sahith Theegala leads over Watney and Varner
From PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by AP:
California rookie Sahith Theegala carved his tee shots into play and made it look easy from there Thursday for an 8-under 64 and a one-shot lead over Nick Watney and Harold Varner III in the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Theegala missed three fairways but was out of position just once at the Country Club of Jackson. He had a birdie putt on every hole but one and finished his round with a 15-foot birdie on the par-4 ninth. Read more

PGA Tour rookie Sahith Theegala has been on a roll the past few weeks, which has cumulated in a Day 1 lead at the Sanderson Farms Championship. But a change came at one point on the road to success.

Rookie Sahith Theegala posted a bogey-free 64 to grab the first-round lead in Mississippi. Not bad for someone who didn't have his tour card a month ago. Read more
