x of Ponte Vedra Beach, who both shot 5-under 67 at the Plantation. Nine other players are 5-under and 28 players shot 4-under, despite layers of clothing, ski caps and hand warmers being the issue of the day.
Lingmerth had four of his five birdies on the front nine and said it was satisfying to get through the back with only one more birdie, but still bogey-free on a day when the temperatures never got out of the low-50s. Lingmerth chipped in for birdie at the par-four second hole from behind the green and dumped in a 20-foot birdie putt at the par-5 fourth.
"Probably the best putting round, maybe, I've ever had in my life," said Knox, a two-time Tour winner."Those were three big putts in a row ... three massive putts in a row. That was nice. I'm going to have to drive it 100 times better than that if I want to keep playing well."Brian Harman of St. Simons Island, who shot 67 at the Plantation, said he wouldn't have played a casual round of golf in the conditions on Thursday.
