Jason Day, Marc Leishman takes 1st round lead at QBE Shootout

Marc Leishman and playing partner Jason Day shot a 16-under 56 and take the first-round lead Friday. Leishman and Day made 12 birdies, but the 16-under wasn’t enough to create much distance, especially from the defending champions. Leishman holed out from in front of the green on No. 6, then holed out a pitch shot on No. 10, so neither of the par-5, hit it on in two and make the putt variety. Harris English and Matt Kuchar, and Corey Conners and Graeme McDowell are both just one back while Lexi Thompson and Bubba Watson, and Jason Kokrak and Kevin Na are tied for fourth.
