Summary
Four players finished Round 1 at 5-under at Muirfield Village — Tommy Fleetwood, Wyndham Clark, J.J. Spaun and Ryan Gerard — to set a crowded early lead at the Memorial Tournament.
Ryan Gerard surged into that tie by birdieing six of his last nine holes, including a five-birdie run from holes 12-16 before a bogey on 17 halted his charge.
Nick Taylor sits alone in fifth at 4-under, with Sam Burns and Justin Rose tied for sixth at 3-under after the opening day.
Scottie Scheffler, chasing a third straight Memorial title, slipped to 1-over and tied for 33rd after a back-nine double bogey at 16 and additional bogeys at 10 and 14.
