The 29-year-old American, among seven co-leaders on three-under par after day one, birdied the par-five 16th and par-four 18th to reach five-under while bigger names struggled on Aronimink's sloped greens.

Top-ranked defending champion Scottie Scheffler tumbled from a share of the lead with three bogeys in his first four holes, missing his first six fairways after hitting 13 of 14 Thursday.
