YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — Americans Max Greyserman, Bud Cauley and Brian Campbell each shot 4-under 67 on Thursday to sit atop the leaderboard after the first round of the Baycurrent Classic in Japan.

This is the only PGA Tour tournament played in Japan, and it was moved this year to the Yokohama Country Club after being played since 2019 east of Tokyo as the Zozo Championship.

Eight players were a shot off the lead, including Australian Adam Scott. Seven more were just two shots back.

Two players from the losing U.S. Ryder Cup team — Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa — each finished on even-par 71. Defending champion Nico Echavarria of Colombia finished with a 70.

Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters champion, had a 72 in the first round.
