Great start to the final major of the year, the two day Sedgefield Championship. Greg Hart (2010) currently on injured reserve, was on the first tee for the honorary tee flip to determine teeing order as the previous champions (Eric White – 2013, Tom Kubik – 2012 and Hermann Heid 2011) took the tee. James Thompson hit the ceremonial first drive long and straight.
Rick Armstong with a net 70 and Mike Understein at 71 are on top of the leaderboard. Six others are two strokes back at 72. Full leaderboard below after the pictures.
