There was no shortage of good shots on Friday in the first round of Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.
Here are five of the best:
5. Zach attack
British Open champion Zach Johnson nearly holed his third shot from 77 yards on the par-5 18th, spinning it to within 18 inches. Johnson is in the hunt after shooting a 2-under 69 in the first round.
4. Cross-country putt
There’s a good chance Jason Kokrak won’t advance beyond this week in the FedExCup playoffs. If the Deutsche Bank Championship is his last event of 2015, his putt at No. 15 is a memory he will cherish.
3. Na, Na, Na, Na
Kevin Na drove it in the right fairway bunker off the tee at the par-4 16th and was just off the green after his second shot. He still made birdie to get to even par, but then bogeyed 17 and finished at 1-over 72.
2. De Jonge closes strong
While his approach on the second hole (his back nine) was a better shot, Brendon de Jonge finished off his 6-under-par 65 in the opening round with this birdie putt at the ninth hole to take a two-shot lead.
1. A little extra English
There weren’t many eagles in the opening round at TPC Boston, but Harris English completed his round with one on No. 18, a quick 29-foot putt to shoot an opening-round 4-under 67, tied for second place.
