Jhonattan Vegas and William McGirt, two PGA TOUR rookies, find
themselves atop the leaderboard after the first round of the Justin
Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Vegas, who won
early this season at the Bob Hope Classic after finishing No. 7 on
the 2010 Nationwide Tour money list, is one of six rookie winners
on the PGA TOUR this season. McGirt, a 2010 q-school graduate, hit
his stride late in the season as he escaped the FedExCup bubble to
qualify for The Barclays and the Deutsche Bank Championship. Nathan
Green, who held the lead for much of the afternoon, ended up one
shot off the pace. Charlie Wi birdied two of his last three holes
to get to 7 under and tie Green for third place. There are 11
golfers (including Nick Watney, Steve Flesch, Matt Jones and Tim
Herron) tied at 6 under, two shots off the pace. Click below to see
some of the best shots from Thursday's opening round at TPC
Summerlin.
