Peter Malnati, Canada's Adam Svensson and China's Carl Yuan are tied for third at 66. Malnati struggled out of the gate with a pair of bogeys on the front nine, then recovered with five of his seven birdies on the back nine.
Seven players are tied for sixth at 67, while Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele are among those tied for 13th after a first-round 68.
Jordan Spieth (69) is tied for 28th, while Brian Harman (70) is tied with several others in 48th.
