The PGA Tour’s season finale, the Tour Championship, began yesterday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, running through Sunday, August 24. All 30 players qualified through the FedEx Cup are teeing off from even par under this year’s revamped 72-hole stroke play format—no more starting strokes. Russell Henley opened with a spectacular 9-under 61, highlighted by an eagle, seven birdies, and flawless putting—he made more than 200 feet of putts, the most of his career. He’s now holding a two-stroke lead over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who carded a solid 7-under 63. Also notching impressive scores of 64 were Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Robert MacIntyre, and Tommy Fleetwood—tying at 6 under. Rory McIlroy and Ludvig Åberg joined the chase at 4 under. Play resumes today with the second round in the hope of avoiding late-afternoon storms.
