SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Seemingly only Mother Nature could slow Sahith Theegala’s assault on par during the first round of the WM Phoenix Open.
The 24-year-old rookie out of Pepperdine University was 7-under through his first 16 holes at TPC Scottsdale and leading the tournament when play was suspended due to darkness at 6:23 p.m. Theegala will be facing a 16-foot par putt when play resumes Friday morning.
