Dublin, OH – Scott Stallings drained three birdies in his final four holes to rise to the top of the leaderboard after one round at the Memorial Tournament.
Stallings entered the clubhouse with a six-under 66, and holds a one-shot lead over Spencer Levin and Erik Compton, who both carded five-under 67s.
Below those three players, however, the field is extremely bunched up.
Seven players share fourth place at three-under 69, including Rory Sabbatini, Aaron Baddeley and Brandt Snedeker. Behind that group are nine players who shot minus-two, among them Tiger Woods -- a four-time Memorial champion -- and Ernie Els.
Several high-profile players struggled Thursday, including Masters winner Bubba Watson (75) and Phil Mickelson, who withdrew after shooting a seven-over 79. He cited mental fatigue and poor hitting as reasons for the withdrawal.
