It’s been a disappointing day so far for the big-name players at the Northern Trust Open. Last year’s winner, Steve Stricker, made just one birdie to three bogeys, ending at 2-over and a first round 73. Both Dustin Johnson and Zach Johnson also finished at 2-over.
The reigning FedEx Cup champion, Jim Furyk, struggled mightily throughout the day, ending with a 4-over 75. John Senden and Martin Laird have the best score in the clubhouse, shooting a 4-under 67. They are both trailing leader Spencer Levin, who is 5-under and bogey free through 14 holes.
