How did the big names play?
Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley and Zach Johnson had the best rounds of the recognizable-name set, with scores of four-under-par 67.
Justin Thomas and Matt Kuchar shot three-under-par 68s while Bubba Watson and Tony Finau shot two-under-par 69s.
Gary Woodland and Bryson DeChambeau are nine shots behind Clark’s lead after one-under-par 70s, and defending champ Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth have some work to do on Friday if they want to stick around for the weekend after opening with rounds of three-over-par 74.
Anything else of note?
Lots of players are paying tribute to Kobe Bryant’s memory this week, and Tony Finau is among them. In addition to donning custom purple and gold golf shoes on Thursday, he also wore Kobe’s jersey for his shot on the 16th hole, which was a pretty cool moment.
