Quail Hollow plays host once again for the Wells Fargo Championship. The 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Five-time PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler looked upbeat as he shot a 1-under-par 70 in Thursday’s first round at Quail Hollow. He said a recent break was a reset as he tries to find his past form with a new swing.
Peter Malnati had missed eight consecutive cuts heading into the first round. So of course he shot 4-under-par 67 to get on the first page of the leaderboard.
The first-round leader, by two shots over KH Lee and Keegan Bradley, is Phil Mickelson. Lefty made a lone bogey Thursday as he bested his finest round of the year by three shots. It was clearly Mickelson’s best showing in 2021.
