Canadian golfer Adam Svensson shot an 11-under opening round to take an early lead at the Black Desert Championship in southern Utah.
The Ivins golf course is hosting Utah’s first PGA event since Tommy Jacobs beat Don January to win the 1963 Utah Open at the Salt Lake Country Club.
The winner of this week’s tournament will get $1.35 million (of a $7.5 million purse) and 500 FedEx Cup points.
