Billy Hurley III off to slow start at TPC Potomac

POTOMAC — David Lingmerth is one of a few players in the Quicken Loans National field with any memories to draw on at TPC Potomac — and they're the best kind of memories.

The winner of a 2012 Web.com Tour event on the tight, tricky layout near Washington, Lingmerth once again relied on his accuracy off the tee Thursday to shoot a 5-under 65 and take the first-round lead.

The 29-year-old Swede, who doesn't have a top 10 finish on the PGA Tour this season, hit 12 of 14 fairways, which tied for best in the field.
