GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Jeff Quinney and Tommy Gainey shot 7-under 63s on Thursday to share the lead after one round at the Wyndham Championship.
Quinney had eight birdies, including five in a row early in his round, to start strong in his last chance to qualify for golf's postseason.
Gainey had five birdies and an eagle in matching his career-best round. Both players are chasing their first PGA Tour victory.
Stuart Appleby had a 64.
Paul Casey, Carl Pettersson, Ernie Els, Jason Bohn, Jimmy Walker, Tim Herron, Lee Janzen, Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh and George McNeill shot 65s during another low-scoring day at Sedgefield Country Club.
Quinney arrived in 215th place in the FedEx Cup standings. A win - and the 500 points that accompany it - would put him in The Barclays.
