Quail Hollow proving tough to tame for top golfers in Wells Fargo Championship

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Wells Fargo Championship field may be rich with big names, but the leaderboard sure isn’t.

While world-class players like Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott fumbled around the course, both finishing 1 over after Round 1 at Quail Hollow, relative unknowns like Steve Wheatcroft and Andrew Loupe, who played in the same group, pushed each other to the top of the leaderboard with 7-under 65s.
