It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for players in the first round of the 2025 Players Championship. With TPC Sawgrass showing more teeth than expected, some competitors are forced to play catch-up to secure a weekend tee time while others will aim to position themselves for a charge over the second 36 holes.

Lucas Glover, J.J. Spaun and Camilo Villegas each shot a 6-under 66, but the top of the leaderboard is jammed after Thursday.

Glover made all three of his looks from 10 to 15 feet, holing 120 feet, 11 inches of putts in all — nearly 50 feet more than his average.
