Players take full advantage of conditions in low-scoring first round at Pebble Beach

The skies above Pebble Beach Golf Links for most of Thursday’s first round were gray, but the leaderboard featured a different hue, one players aren’t typically accustomed to seeing at the U.S. Open: Red.

On a day where the winds were light, the fairways were slow and the greens soft, the world’s best players took full advantage of the opportunity.
