On Thursday, Zach Bauchou shot a career-best 9-under 62 at the Bank of Utah Championship, securing a one-shot lead at the Black Desert Resort and earning his first 18-hole advantage on the PGA Tour.
The average score hovered around 68 on a beautiful day in southern Utah, creating favorable conditions that allowed multiple players to post low scores at the Black Desert Resort.
Nick Taylor and Presidents Cup teammate Christiaan Bezuidenhout both finished at 64; Taylor punctuated his round with a 50-foot eagle putt after competing at Medinah last week.
Jordan Smith of England reached 63 with a spectacular 238-yard albatross, while defending champion Michael Brennan opened with a 64 alongside Kevin Streelman and Nick Dunlap.
