Min Woo Lee opens Tour Championship with 62 to lead by two
The Australian matched his PGA Tour low round to move ahead after the opening day of the season-ending event in Atlanta.
Min Woo Lee took the early lead at the Tour Championship in Atlanta on Thursday after carding a 62, which matched his lowest score on the PGA Tour and left him two shots clear. The season-ending event is the final stop in the FedExCup race.
Scottie Scheffler was among the players chasing Lee after the first round, while Rory McIlroy had an uneven start to his bid for the title. The opening day set up a tight contest at East Lake as the field began the final week of the PGA Tour season.
Lee's round put him in position to build on a strong start in the tournament, which brings together the top players in the standings. The Tour Championship continues over the weekend in Atlanta.
