On the Challenge Tour, Derry's Ruaidhri McGee is just two shots off the lead after opening with a six-under 66 in the Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play 9 in Spain. He bounced back in a big way in Dallas, starting with an eagle at the par-5 first after hitting his 236-yard second shot to three feet.
The 34-year-old Victorian, a three-time victor on the PGA Tour, started with an eagle on the par-5 first hole and never looked back, claiming another eagle at the 14th to go with six birdies. He hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation, all 14 fairways and ranks first in both strokes-gained/tee-to-green and approach-the-green.
Americans JJ Spaun and Jimmy Walker are Leishman's nearest challengers, each carding seven-under-par 64. Walker's, who did not make a bogey on Thursday, continues his impressive revival in 2018 following his battle with lyme disease.
Marc Leishman has a penchant for low scores, but the Australian charted new territory today.
But the degree of difficulty, and the uncertainty of how - and where - his ball would come out were put to the back of Walker's mind as he chose to hit and hope with his 172-yard second. But it was a struggle for last year's runner-up Gavin Moynihan, who won the recent GolfSixes with Paul Dunne but is in danger of missing his 11th cut in a row after a 73. An injury that led to a WD at the Waste Management Phoenix Open no doubt played a role in some of his struggles.

Blac Chyna Likely To Be Sued Over Death Of Her Assistant
On January 11 she collapsed after suffering a seizure at Chy's Lashed nail salon and has been hospitalized ever since. She only went on the first day to tell officials to not release any information to anyone and has yet to return.
"It was about as easy tee to green as I've ever seen this place", Spieth said. "I withdrew during Phoenix and I saw two different doctors and saw nothing in there".
Walker continued his good form from TPC Sawgrass last week as he raced to the turn in 31 and picked up further shots at 14 and 16 to get to seven under for the day, but he looked likely to card his only bogey at the 18th after a poor drive. Basically an overuse issue.
"Sixty-one. I'll take that".
Importantly, the Queenslander poured in six birdies against just two bogeys in his 67 in his quest to avoid US Open sectional qualifying.
The Listowel native shot a 2-under 69 and is eight shots back of leader Marc Leishman.
