PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — Camilo Villegas hasn’t make a cut all year and has only broken 70 one time in four previous trips to Riviera, so it was mildly surprising to see him with an 8-under 63 to build a three-shot lead Thursday in the Northern Trust Open.
That wasn’t the biggest surprise.
One spot from the bottom of the leaderboard was Jordan Spieth, the world’s No. 1 player who shot an 8-over 79 on one of his favorite courses. It was his worst first round as a pro, and his highest score since an 80 in the third round of the 2014 TOUR Championship.
