WGC Bridgestone Invitational leaderboard http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/bridgestone-invitational/leaderboard.html
Bill McGirt is playing in his first WGC event because he won the Memorial a month ago and he made the most of his debut with six birdies for a -6 64 three-shot better than some pretty impressive company on a day when only 17 players of the 61-man field broke par
"I fell in love with the place because length is not everything out here,” McGirt said. “You have to drive it in the fairway. You have to drive it in the correct spots in the fairways to be able to attack pins. I love it because you can’t stand up there and just hit it as hard as you want, go find it and hack it on the green. It’s an old, traditional style golf course, which I absolutely love
Jason Day was among three players at 67, while Jordan Spieth somehow managed to post a 68 saving par after par with his putter to offset some wayward drives and sloppy approaches.
U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson shot 69 after taking a week off celebrating his first major with the family in the Bahamas.
Only 17 players of the 61-man field broke par. Daniel Berger, Brooks Koepka and Davis Love all withdrew due to injuries.
