Padraig Harrington and Chris DiMarco shared the lead Thursday at the Regions Tradition.
Rory McIlroy hoped that his victory with Shane Lowry two weeks ago in the Zurich Classic team event would serve as a springboard for the remainder of the season. McIlroy positioned himself for a run at a record fourth Wells Fargo Championship title Thursday, opening with a 4-under 67 that left him three shots behind leader Xander Schauffele. Collin Morikawa and Alex Noren also shot 67, and Justin Thomas topped the group at 68.
Xander Schauffele went three-under over his last three holes to grab a three-stroke lead after Thursday's opening round of the PGA Tour's Wells Fargo Championship.Schauffele seeks his eighth career PGA Tour triumph but the first for the 30-year-old American since the 2022 Scottish Open.
Zhang played in the afternoon and fired a 9-under round to vault to the top.
