Overview

  • Joel Dahmen carded a nine-under 61 in the opening round to seize a one-stroke lead at Sedgefield Country Club.
  • Dahmen’s surge moves him within reach of a FedEx Cup playoff berth as he pursues a runner-up or better finish to crack the top 70.
  • Sweden’s Alex Noren matched his own career low with an eight-under 62 but remains ineligible to advance even with a win.
  • Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott each delivered 65s to sit at five-under, with Spieth already assured of a playoff spot and Scott needing at least a T3 finish.
  • Four players—including Mark Hubbard, Cameron Young, Nico Echavarria and defending champion Aaron Rai—are tied at seven-under as they target weekend runs to secure tour cards and playoff slots.
