Day one report

Wyndham Clark shot a career best 10-under 61, missing out on the course record by one shot, to lead the Phoenix Open by two following a first round completed in near-darkness.

Starting on the 10th tee, the 26-year-old took control on his back nine, with eight birdies in a 10-hole stretch from hole 12 to three, before adding two more on holes seven and eight. He finally putted out for par hole nine just after sunset.
