PGA Tour : Memorial Tournament Tee Times Leaderboard
Three weeks ago at the PGA Championship Nick Taylor was right in contention on a very tough Aronimink GC where the greens were flummoxing most of the field.
Nick Taylor wins Sony Open
However after a couple of errant drives, and missed putts on his final 8 holes led to a 40 he eventually finished T26.
This week Jack's Muirfield Village course, the greens are already very firm, and fast, that along with a swirling breeze has the field bunched with four sharing the lead with -5 67, Fleetwood, Clark, Spaun and Gerard.
Only 22 players broke par. "Small misses are leading to big punishments" is how Ryan Gerard summed round 1 up
Taylor can testify with a double bogey at the par 5 7th, then a bogey at 8.
However the good news is he also made 4 birdies on that front nine 35, then buckled down for a solid 3 birdie no bogey back nine 33 for -4 68 a shot off the lead in 5th place.
Justin Rose and Sam Burns are next at -3 69.
