Steve Wheatcroft and Andrew Loupe each shot a seven-under-par 65 in rain and steady wind to share the first-round lead in the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C., while Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler dodged a thrown golf ball with an earplug attached to it. A spectator threw the ball as Fowler was preparing to hit at the sixth tee box. “The guy tried to say it was a gift,” Fowler said. The fan was escorted from the property by the police. Fowler finished with a 71, and McIlroy shot a 73.
