Charl Schwartzel sits alone atop the leaderboard at the 2013 Memorial Tournament after Round 1 after shooting a seven-under-par round of 65.

Right behind him at six under par is Scott Piercy, and four other golfers are tied for third place at five under par—none of them named Tiger Woods.

The course at Muirfield Village Golf Club is a par-72 masterpiece designed by Jack Nicklaus, and after Thursday's action, just 40 golfers in the field of 120 managed to break par. 

Here's a look at the leaderboard after Round 1, along with some notable scores courtesy of PGATour.com:

Position Player Score To Par 1 Charl Schwartzel 65 -7 2 Scott Piercy 66 -6 T3 Josh Teater 67 -5 T3 Russell Henley 67 -5 T3 Kyle Stanley 67 -5 T3 Charlie Wi 67 -5 T7 Bill Haas 68 -4 T7 Matt Kuchar 68 -4 T9 Matt Jones 69 -3 T9 Michael Thompson 69 -3 T9 Robert Karlsson 69 -3 T9 Chris Stroud 69 -3 T27 Tiger Woods 71 -1 T41 Guan Tianlang (a) 72 E T107 Rory McIlroy 78 +6  



Now, it's time to take a closer look at what the top performers did to end Round 1 atop the leaderboard. Afterward, we'll take a look at how Woods fared on Thursday.

 

Charl Schwartzel (-7)



Though it may be hard to believe, Schwartzel could have finished his day with an even lower score than he ended up posting. As PGA.com on Twitter noted, he finished the round with 10 total birdies:



That's smoking-hot golf, and if not for a bogey on No. 13 and a double-bogey on No. 8, he'd have carded a round of 10 under par.



Looking at Schwartzel's stats for the day, it's not hard to see how he managed to log such an impressive score. He hit all but one of his fairways (92.86 percent) and was sharp on his approach shots (88.89 percent of GIR). 

Hitting fairways and greens with regularity is a must at Muirfield Village...
