Nothing but the bottom of the cup and a share of the first-round lead with J.J. Spaun at 9-under 63 on a nearly wind-less Thursday (Friday in Manila). Spieth, Spaun and plenty of others had little trouble with TPC Craig Ranch north of Dallas. “It’s a good golf course, but it’s playing about as easy as it can play,” said 2018 Nelson winner Aaron Wise, who was among four one shot off the lead. The South Korean player put his 234-yard approach on the par-5 ninth to 8 feet and made the eagle putt. Sergio Garcia, who holed out from 52 yards for eagle on the par-4 sixth, was in a large group at 65.
