After one day of wild weather and crazy scores, J.B. Holmes finds himself atop the leader-board after shooting a 67 (-5) on the day. Irishman Shane Lowry is only one stroke behind Holmes, and then we have 13 players tied at -3. Brooks Koepka is one of those players at -3, and I am sure the rest of the field is well aware of that. The biggest surprise of the day was Rory McIlroy. The hometown favorite opened the day with a 79 (+8), really struggling from the first tee. Perhaps even more shocking is how many good players were chewed up by this course today: Marc Leishman, Adam Scott, and Tiger Woods all shot 78 (+7), while Phil Mickelson and his calves shot a 76 (+5). The reigning Open Champion Franky Molinari shot 74 (+3), and so did Mr. Science – Bryson DeChambeau.
