Mother Nature greeted the first round of the 2020 Waste Management Phoenix Open with warm and open arms. Spectacular weather accompanied outstanding play from a number of the PGA TOUR’s best, but none better than Wyndham Clark who nearly tied the TPC Scottsdale course record with a 10-under-par 61. Birdies seemed to come in bunches for Clark who twice strung a trio together – once on the back and once on the front – for one shot off the pace of Phil Mickelson (2005, 2013) and Mark Caclavecchia’s (2001) rounds of 60. Former FedExCup Champion Billy Horschel is two shots off the pace at 8-under par and two-time WM Phoenix Open champion J.B. Holmes – who carded an ace on No. 4 today – is well within reach of the leader at 7-under par.
Four players are tied at 6-under including one of The Thunderbirds five sponsor exemptions, Harris English, and five players are tied at 5-under par making the 2020 WM Phoenix Open still anyone’s game with three rounds to play.
