Every surges clear at Wyndham

Matt Every surged into an early lead at the Wyndham Championship on Thursday, firing a nine-under-par 61 to launch his bid for only the third win of his career.

The journeyman world number 751 carded seven birdies and an eagle to move clear in the clubhouse at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. “I’m driving it way better,” Every said. “The last couple years, a lot of people would have quit the game in my position with what has kind of crept into my game.”
