Pierceson Coody (66) one back of leaders in first PGA Tour start as professional

Pierceson Coody, who won on the Korn Ferry Tour for the second time in his career just two-and-a-half weeks ago, looked unfazed Thursday in his first start on the PGA Tour as a professional.

Coody opened with a bogey-free 4-under 66 to sit one shot back of the first-round leaders, appearing calm throughout his opening round.

“It really just feels like another professional event,” Coody said. “I've only played about 13 or 14 professional or I guess, whatever, 15 events. But other than the big grandstands it's not that different. You're just playing golf. You're trying to put a good score together.
