Jesper Svensson sharper than Scottie Scheffler, second on PGA Tour

Jesper Svensson has had a great start at this week's PGA Tour event in Texas. The Swede made nine birdies in the first round and is tied for second place at 63, eight under par.

Golf is a fun sport. I woke up this morning and didn't even know if I was going to play. My neck was really sore. I spent a lot of time in the morning getting it sorted. I got on the range - and then went out and shot eight under par, Svensson said.

Taylor Moore, USA, leads at -9, while Svensson shares second place with another American, star Brooks Koepka, who recently returned to the PGA Tour after a few years on LIV.

World number one Scottie Scheffler is also playing in his home state of Texas, where he is chasing his first win since January. He is tied for 16th, five strokes under par.
