US EditionMackenzie Hughes with a 63 leads at Myrtle Beach
- Canadian golfer Mackenzie Hughes carded an 8-under 63 on Friday, including birdies on his final four holes, to hold a one-stroke advantage after opening play at the Myrtle Beach Classic held at Dunes Golf & Beach Club.

- Hughes finished strong with five birdies over his last six holes, including birdying the final four, while Seamus Power and Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen trailed by one shot.
- Hughes, a two-time PGA Tour winner with over two years since his last title, said, "Putted nicely today" and that he "kind of caught fire at the end."
- Hughes has yet to qualify for the PGA Championship, so his strong start at Myrtle Beach could secure his spot and affect the tournament’s competitive dynamic.
