Weekley shoots 64 to grab early Zurich Classic lead

Related Topics: McGladrey Classic, Zürich, Louisiana

All three of his wins have come in a six-week span (April 15-May 26), and so it was little surprise to see him atop the early leaderboard Thursday at the Zurich Classic.

Taking advantage of a rain-softened course and virtually no wind, Weekley made seven birdies and an eagle during an opening-round 64 that gave him the early lead at TPC Louisiana

It was his best start of the season – by five shots. The last time he shot 64 in an opening round was the 2012 McGladrey Classic.

Weekley has three top 15s in seven career starts in this event, most recently a T-6 in 2013, when he opened with 65.
