ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Mackenzie Hughes, the Canadian rookie on the PGA Tour, had thoughts of a sub-60 round on a perfect day for scoring in the RSM Classic on Thursday.
The 25-year-old from Dundas, Ont., wound up with a 61 at Sea Island for a one-shot lead after the first round.
Here are a few highlights from his round.
A great start to the week got even better when Stewart Cink opened with a career-low 62. His wife, Lisa, walked all 18 holes.
Cink stepped away from the PGA Tour in May when his wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. After nine rounds of chemotherapy, she received what Cink said was a good report from doctors in Houston on Monday.
Cink says he’s made some changes in his attitude on the course to make golf only part of his life.
