Clark fires career-best 61 to take lead at TPC Scottsdale

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Wyndham Clark beat darkness - and everyone else Thursday at TPC Scottsdale.

Playing in the second-to-last group off the 10th tee, Clark shot a career-best 10-under 61 to take the first-round lead in the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

He had eight birdies in a 10-hole stretch from No. 12 to No. 3, added two more on Nos. 7 and 8 and putted out for par on No. 9 just after sunset.

"I hit a lot of fairways and I just gave myself a lot of looks and the putter was hot," Clark said.
