Cameron Smith opened with a career low round of 9-under 62 in overcast and breezy conditions to take the lead at Harbour Town on Thursday. He had previously scored 63s three times on the PGA.

Smith finished tied for 10th at the Masters last week, his second best result in five months following his second place at the Masters in November last year.

“I feel like Augusta really gets my mind going, my creativity going.”

Smith has never finished higher than 15th in five starts at Harbour Town and twice missed the cut the last two years.

“I feel like after last week, I feel like chipping around here is almost like a breeze,” said Smith. “I was so scared last week on almost every chip shot, and I feel like I can be really aggressive around here.

“I don’t know, I just feel really comfortable. Mentally, I feel very free out there. I feel like I can hit the shot that I need to hit and going ahead and trying to execute it. I just feel like every shot I’m hitting, I’m putting 100 percent into it, and on a day like today, it’s really rewarding.”

Trailing by one shot is Stewart Cink, two-times former champion, whose 63 earlier in the day was his lowest score in 75 career rounds of the RBC Heritage in spite of opening with a bogey after finding the water at the 10th.
