Summary
Justin Thomas leads the RBC Heritage after an impressive first-round score of 61, which ties the best 18-hole record in the tournament’s history and marks the lowest opening-round score ever. Despite this strong start, Thomas faces challenges since no player has converted an opening round lead into a win this season, and he has not done so since 2019. Close competitors include Russell Henley and Scottie Scheffler, both three strokes behind, along with Wyndham Clark and Justin Rose, making for a competitive field ahead.
