Koepka Leads PGA-FEDEX ST. JUDE
Defending champion Brooks Koepka has matched his career best with an 8-under 62 to take a one-stroke lead over Rickie Fowler and Brendan Todd in the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
Koepka had nine birdies and a bogey on a windy day at TPC Southwind in the World Golf Championship event.
The round comes a week after he missed the cut in Minnesota in the 3M Open.
Sung Kang shot 65.
Justin Thomas fired a 66 and was tied with Matt Kuchar, Chez Reavie and Max Homa.
Thomas can reclaim the No. 1 ranking with a victory this weekend.
