PGA TOUR 2023, Wyndham Championship, Sedgefield CC, Greensboro, NC: 3-6 Aug
Day One: Russell Henley leads by one
From PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by The AP:
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Russell Henley still thinks about a poor finish from two years ago at the Wyndham Championship. He had no complaints about his start Thursday, an 8-under 62 that gave him the lead in the final tournament before the PGA TOUR's FedExCup Playoffs.
Henley hit his approach to 6 feet for eagle on the par-5 15th on his way to a 30 on the back nine at rain-softened Sedgefield Country Club. He led by one over Adam Svensson and Byeong Hun An, who birdied his last two holes.
Henley is at No. 34 in the FedExCup standings, while Svensson is No. 37 and An No. 52. They are assured a place in the Playoffs, which is for the top 70. They could be getting a head start on the FedExCup Playoffs.
Adam Scott doesn't have that luxury, and that made his opening 65 valuable. Read more
From The West Australian, by Staff Writers:
Adam Scott has jetted off to just the start he needed to try to salvage his PGA Tour season with a fine opening round at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro.
Australia's former world No.1 made seven birdies, turned his worst swing into a par and bogeyed the last hole for a five-under 65 that left him in a tie for fifth.
Scott needs to climb from his 81st position in the FedExCup standings into the top 70 to make it to the lucrative season-ending playoffs once more. Read more
