Wells Fargo Championship: Tough start for Pavon

For the sixth time this season, the crème de la crème of the American circuit gathered for a signature event, this time in North Carolina. On the way to Quail Hollow Club, Matthew Pavon started this Wells Fargo Championship on rather difficult grounds. With six bogeys and a birdie this Thursday, the world No. 20 got through the day on the back of a long, generally imprecise game. Due to the lack of 5 fairway shots out of 14 possible in regulation and almost two missed shots on the rest of the field on the attacks on the green, Bordelais accumulated some delay on the leading men.

The first chair in the ranking is also occupied by Xander Schauffele who boasted a solid 64 (-7) to open the event. The American is currently ahead of his compatriot Colin Morikawaand the Europeans Alex Noren And Rory McIlory three strokes behind their card of 67 (-4) this Thursday.
