Joel Dahmen equaled the lowest round of his career with a 9 -under 61 to give the early rhythm to the Wyndham Championship Thursday in Greensboro, NC
Dahmen needs a solid performance in the regular season final to qualify for the Fedex Cup qualifiers starting next week. A victory would jump from n ° 101 in the classification until the 48th, according to the PGA Tour. The top 70 in points after this weekend will reach the playoffs.
Dahmen has just an advantage in one blow on Alex Noren in Sweden, who turned an 82 under 62 at the Sedgefield Country Club. Four players were equal to the third row at 63: Cameron Young, Mark Hubbard, Nico Echavarria in Colombia and the defending champion Aaron Rai of England.
Not far behind, as part of a great equality at 5 under 65 years, were Jordan Spieth and the Australian Adam Scott. Spieth (n ° 50 entering the week) is comfortably in the field of the playoffs, but Scott needs a very high finish in order to go from the 85th in the Top 70.
Dahmen ranked fourth on the field Thursday by making 131 1/2 feet of putts. Six of his 10 Birdies came on a new sterling front, his nine seconds, where he pulled 6-29. He sorted out at n ° 7-9, including a 46 feet at the par-3 seventh.
Max Homa pulled a 4-mine of 66 when he clings to the hope of jumping from n ° 106 in the classification in the Top 70.
