By the time the first round finally got underway at Colonial Country Club, the biggest worry wasn’t the course—it was the clock. The Charles Schwab Challenge needed weather to clear before the Tour could settle into its rhythm, and when it did, the leaderboard didn’t wait.
After the weather-delayed opening round, six players are tied for the lead at 6-under 64: Ryan Gerard, Andrew Putnam, Tom Kim, J.J. Spaun, Matt McCarty and Lee Hodges. Another group is clustered right behind them—Keegan Bradley and Gary Woodland are among the players one shot back.
This week’s stakes stretch beyond one weekend score. It’s the final chance to qualify for the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday via the Aon Swing 5 and Aon Next 10.
