After disappointing Masters, Justin Thomas opens RBC Heritage with record-tying performance
Scottie Scheffler called it a fairly stress-free day. The world No. 1 was in position most of his opening round Thursday morning at the RBC Heritage, missing just three fairways and three greens, not carding a bogey and tallying seven birdies to shoot 7-under 64, a round that was equaled by Russell Henley.
And yet, both Scheffler and Henley still trail by three shots through 18 holes at Harbour Town Golf Links.
The round of the day belonged to Justin Thomas, who fresh off his T-36 at the Masters tied the Heirtage’s scoring record with a 10-under 61. Only David Frost in 1994 and Troy Merritt in 2015 had posted 61s in tournament play here.
