Keith Michelle used a late Bird Run to shoot 9-Ein-Pahel 61 and gained an early lead in the Trust Championship in Flourrtown, PA on Thursday.
Mitchell started her first round at nine in the immersion course of Philadelphia Cricket Club and crossed her first five holes. After the Burdings Nose 15, 17 and 18, he was warm on the front nine with 6-under 29, including four straight beardies in Nos 5-8.
At the end of the day, it was only good for a one-stroke lead on Denny Macarthi. The third place in the 7-under 63 is Colin Moricawa, Ricky Fauler, Akshay Bhatia and Austria’s sep straka.
Macarthi scored five-bird runs, Fouler posted a front-nine 29 and Moricawa in his first competitive round with the new caddy who became bogie-free with Green as The Vishikon Course made the PGA Tour debut. Philadelphia Cricket Club is serving as a temporary host for the $ 20 million signature program, while the Quarter Khola prepares to host the PGA Championship next week.
Kigan Bradley, the captain of Ireland’s Shane Lori and US Rider Cup, was part of a tie for the seventh in 64. A huge tie in 65 included Patrick Cantley, Harris English, Tony Finau, Russell Henle, Hideki Matsuayama of Japan and SI Wu Kim of South Korea.
Rory McLaroy is a four -time champion of the event in Qulel Hall, including last year, and managed an early 66 with six Birds and two bogies. Justin Thomas, Max Homa and Will Zalatoris 66 are among those tied to them.
Only five players, including Canada’s Adam Hedwin (1-Over 71) and Lucas Glover (2-over 72), also failed to shoot equal or better. There will be no cut after 36 holes.
