Sergio Garcia rushed to the first tee and raced to the finish line Thursday in The Players Championship. Garcia thought he had plenty of time to get from the range to the 10th tee to start his round. Then he fired off a 7-under 65, capped off by a birdie-birdie-eagle finish for a two-shot lead over Brian Harman. 5:19When darkness brought the first round to a halt — 21 players didn't finish — there already were 13 scores of 80 or higher. British Open champion Shane Lowry took bogey on his final hole for a 68 and was tied with Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., and Matt Fitzpatrick.
