Tied alongside them is Matthew Wolff (68), who took a two month breal following a disappointing start to the year and missed the PGA Championship.

“It's awesome that I came out here and played well, but I think more importantly, I'm just getting closer to being more comfortable and being happy and enjoying it," said Wolff. “I feel like I've done a very good job of enjoying it, but I've still got a long way to go to keep a level head. Like I said, I'll probably be working on the same thing that I'm working on now for the rest of my career.”
