Justin Thomas’s 61, 11 birds are good for the RBC heritage leader; Scheffler three back
Justin Thomas kidnapped a new Harbor Town Golf Links record as inch, but on Thursday, Hilton Head Island was the Early Leading at the RBC Heritage at SC.
Thomas rolled in 11 birds and tied the single -round course record with 61 under the age of 10, after a series of shooting with a short rod from a significant distance, after the record -breaking 60, a putt of the hole was narrowly missed. Thomas was equal to 18.
“I just played really solid, Thom Thomas said. “I feel that I didn’t do anything crazy. I drove the ball well, which is very, very important and I felt just one of those days, I put it at a point where I had very good numbers. Although you need to be a little conservative here, I felt like pins and everything, as if I could be radişeli.”
Thomas rated its second shot, 8 iron to 18th Green, the best shot of a tour with plenty of options you can choose from.
Before the kidnapped Putt, which was still good for the lowest opening round in RBC inheritance history, a record of a bird Putt from Par-3 took a striking distance with a bird Putt from Par-3.
Thomas made three shots from Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley, who ranked second in the 7 -year -old PGA Tour Signature event of 20 million dollars.
Thomas returned with a share under the age of 6, under the age of 30, consisting of six birds and three pars, but he opened his back to number 10 before he settled Birdie from seven holes to five.

“I love him, Thom Thomas said from the tight Harbor Town course. “I wish we can play more places like this. I think more architect should design such places. It is based on the test of this time.”
The defense champion Scheffler returned to a shot, but in the 10th, a 21 -meter bird was shot even in 6 with 6 Putt. He had seven birds and played on Thursday.
Scheffler ranks fourth at Augusta National to defend the title of 2024 Masters. He looked comfortable on Thursday and he knew how to win was sensitive to another course. At the age of 11, when he did not execute to make a plan, he made only one shot from Tee, and the Scheffes were still shining.
Scheffler, the last round in Masters and the Opening of RBC Heritage between the 18 side -to -side location “definitely a less stressful tour” I think. “He said.
“If you compare my four tours last week with today, there would be a much less stressful golf tour in terms of fluttering today. Many things I had to do last week, I didn’t have to do a good score today. A little different.
“But I will never say that the golf is easy. Golf is hard.”
Henley, who won Arnold Palmer Invitational last month for his first round of win since 2022, kept up with birds in three of his last four holes.
Wyndham Clark hit 65 and took second place. The British Matt Fitzpatrick, the winner of the 2023 RBC Heritage’s winner, hit 66, and in 66, Brian Campbell was part of a Logjam in 66, including JJ Spaun, Gary Woodland and Brian Harman. Fitzpatrick entered 22 meters for Eagle in Par-5 seconds and besieged two Par-5 (No. 5, 15) in a non-BOGEY round.
Thursday, Thomas’s 62 or better 14th career tour in the PGA tour in the last 40 years. Kevin Na (11) ranks with Tiger Woods and Zach Johnson among a group of nine rounds 62 or less. Thomas connected the course record at TPC SAWGRASS to 62 in March and a day after hitting 78, 11 birds and a round 18 -meter -caught Putt.
The course said he would expect many different conditions while drying Sunday.
Thomas, “Especially if we continue to take such air and these fairway hardens, the greens already harden, if the weekend will be everything we want.” He said.
Thomas was connected to the fifth place in 2024 with 72 -hole 14 points and in the last round with the best of 6 of 6. The Scheffler event won the event below 19, three of them are far from Sahith Theegala.
