Carl Pettersson is on fire.

Just four days after finishing in third at the PGA Championship, his best finish ever at a major, the big Swede is up to more of the same at Sedgefield Country Club at the Wyndham Championship. 

Pettersson shot an eight-under 62 and currently sits alone in first place.



It's not like that was unexpected, though. The 34-year-old lives in Raleigh and went to school at North Carolina State, so it's not surprising that he's tearing up a golf course that is just an hour-and-a-half away. In fact, Pettersson owns the course record with a score of 259, which won him this tournament in 2008.

But while Pettersson, who is having a fantastic season and is currently in ninth in the FedEx Cup rankings, looks like the clear favorite after Day 1, there are still plenty of players right on his trail.

Let's take a closer look.

 

Day 1 Leaderboard

Rank Player Score 1 Carl Pettersson -8 T2 David Mathis -7 T2 Tim Clark -7 T4 Tom Gillis -6 T4 Scott Stallings -6 T4 Troy Matteson -6 7 Matt Every -5 T8 Chris Kirk -4 T8 Webb Simpson -4 T8 Gary Woodland -4 There are currently nine other players tied for eighth place at four-under.

Projected Cut

The top 70 players plus all ties make the cut after Round 2, and currently, the projected cut line sits at even par.

Besides Charlie Wi (+2), Ken Duke (E), John Rollins (+1) and Brian Davis (+1), there aren't a ton of notable names below the projected cut.



However, Jason Dufner (-2) and John Huh (-1) are just barely above it.
