Bounceback birdie for Kizzire at 6. He rattles in a 30-footer to return to -2. Meanwhile a par on 18 for Fitzpatrick, and the Englishman signs for a fine two-under 68. No better way to finish our day one coverage, then. Thanks for reading! See you tomorrow.
-5: McIlroy
-4: Zalatoris, Hoge
-3: Kuchar, Ancer, Thomas, Herbert (17*)
Herbert splits the 7th fairway and sends his second over the flag to 15 feet. But he can’t nail the putt coming back and he remains at -3. He’s got another look at birdie coming up at the par-three 8th, albeit from 30 feet.
