Bubba Watson produced a stunning performance on the opening day of the Travelers Championship to take a two-shot lead in Connecticut.
The world number five arrived at the scene of his first PGA Tour triumph on the back of missing the cut at the US Open, but he played confidently throughout the day and displayed excellent touch on the green with nine birdies.
An approach shot almost delivered an eagle on the final hole as the ball struck the pin before Watson settled for a score of eight-under-par.
Harris English and Keegan Bradley are among the players two shots behind the leader, with Noh Seung-Yul, Brian Stuard and Jason Gore also managing to reach six-under.
Former Masters champions Zach Johnson is in a large group currently sitting three strokes off the pace, while Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington both carded rounds of 66.
