Matt Wallace, the 34-year-old, shot five birdies and a bogey under 63 in Round 1. In an interview, Matt Wallace said as quoted by CBS Sports:
"So, watching some of the best players in the world, and what I'm seeing from a lot of them, especially the younger guys, younger than me. I'm not too old, but younger than me, they're so focused in their shot and not worrying about the outcome or what's out there,"
"That's what I'm trying to do now. So this might be test number 158 of me with a different round of golf. But taking care my business and my swing is the most important part, and I'm able to do that at the moment because I'm in a good place."
Davis Riley and Matt Wallace are at T4 while a host of players including Aaron Rai, S.H. Kim and Teiga Semikawa are tied at T6. Defending champion Jason Day is currently positioned at T62.
