ORLANDO, Fla. — The Arnold Palmer Invitational started Thursday morning with a single leading off the field of 69 in the signature event at Bay Hill Club & Lodge. It’s a rare instance – no one seems to remember the last time that happened – and it caused a bit of an uproar on social media with the likes of Colt Knost imploring, “What are we doing here? Let one more player in,” and Andrew Novak, who has three straight top 10s on Tour, proclaiming, “I’ll play as marker this week, but if I top 10 again y’all gotta pay me. Deal?”
