The RSM Classic: Sahith Theegala had a rough opening day at the RSM Classic, the last Fall Season event on the PGA Tour. Theegala, who lost a good part of the year due to injury, shot an even par 70 and was way down in tied-125th place after the first day at the Plantation Course at Sea Island.

Starting on the tenth in the event being played over two courses -- at the Plantation Course and the Seaside course, the Indian-American had just one birdie on the seventh, which was his 16th hole, and gave that away with a bogey on the ninth, his final hole of the day.

Doug Ghim narrowly missed a putt for 59 on a calm day of low scoring. He settled for a share of the course record on the Seaside Course at Sea Island, posting a 10-under 60 at The RSM Classic.
