American Sahith Theegala, playing in his first WM Phoenix Open and starting on the back nine, was bogey-free and one shot in the lead at 7-under with two holes to play when play was suspended due to darkness.

“I got off to a pretty hot start. I had a couple – it was nice to see one go in on the first hole, that always kind of sets the tone for the day.

“But the big key for me like always in my game is just putting my driver in the fairway and I was able to do that early and often. I think the wind kind of laid down for us a little bit at the end there.”

“So was able it take advantage of some opportunities and, yeah, super happy with the way I started.

“Obviously I got a little chippy at the end, I started hitting my driver a little squirrely at the end, so this is a welcome stop, honestly.

“I think I have like a 15-, 18-footer for par on 8, but it was just kind of nice because I was kind of losing some momentum there.”

Theegala is playing on a sponsor invite he received two weeks ago.

“I was obviously really excited because I knew the history of the tournament and obviously super strong field, probably the strongest field I played in so far this year, and I just figured it was like another free roll opportunity, might as well take advantage of it and obviously super thankful that I got in.”
