B.C.’S Sloan shares lead at Wyndham

Harold Varner III shot a bogey-free 62 on Thursday in the first round of play at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., and sits atop the leaderboard alongside Tom Hoge and Canada’s Roger Sloan. The North Carolina native finished 8-under at the par-70 Sedgefield Country Club, two shots clear of Harris English. It was a score Hoge and Sloan matched later in the day. Sloan, of Merritt, B.C., was hot out of the gate with birdies on six of his first eight holes. “You’ve just got to cherish days like this, it’s fun when you’re making that many putts,” Sloan said. “You’ve got to give credit to these greens. These greens are in remarkable shape. You get them started on line with the right pace, they’re going in.”
