Harold Varner III said he is taking it one hole at a time after firing a first round seven-under-par 63 to grab a share of the lead at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth on Thursday.
The 29-year-old American's bogey-free round is a boost to his hopes of capturing a maiden PGA Tour victory but he said he is staying focused on the present."If I'm thinking about winning a golf tournament right now, I've probably lost it," he told reporters. He said that while he wants to help foster change in the sport he loves, he knows the best way to elevate his voice is to do what he does best - hit the ball like he did on Thursday.AdvertisementThe PGA Tour observed a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. CT in honor of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody after being pinned to the ground by a white Minneapolis officer last month for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
