Camilo Villegas shot a 7-under 63 to grab the first-round lead at the Wyndham Championship on Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
Villegas had five birdies in the opening round but the highlight of his day was an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole. Villegas hasn't won a tournament since 2010, and in 2014 hasn't yet finished in the top 10. He has two top-25 finishes this season, and in the last month the only tournament he played in was the Canadian Open, where he withdrew after one round.
He owns a one-shot lead over William McGirt and Webb Simpson, each of whom shot 64 on Thursday but in very different ways.
Simpson got off to a quick start with birdies on each of his first four holes, and would have shared the first-round lead with Villegas if not for missing a three-foot putt on the par-4 17th hole for a bogey. McGirt, however, bogeyed two of the first three holes, then steadily worked his way back, buoyed by five birdies on the back nine.
Here is a look at Thursday's leaderboard after one round.
