Sixty-three might be the number that everyone remembers after Thursday's first round of The Barclays. After all, Rory Sabbatini did start the inaugural PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup with a bang.
Still, Sabbatini's impressive total was hardly the only important number posted Thursday at Westchester CC.
