CROMWELL, Conn. — Jason Wagner shot a 6-under-par 64 on Thursday to match Steve Lowery, Brad Adamonis and Englishman Brian Davis for the first-round lead at the Travelers Championship.
Seven players were a shot back at 65, and another 16 shot 66s. Of 156 players, 104 shot under par.
“We had no wind, and it was just kind of there for the taking today with it being so soft,” Wagner said.
Wagner, who is looking for his second career victory following a win in Houston this season, eagled the 296-yard 15th after hitting his approach shot within 18 inches of the pin.
