Matsuyama robbed

MANILA, Philippines — Chris Kirk aced the par-3 14th hole on his way to grabbing a one-stroke lead after Thursday’s first round of the PGA St. Jude’s Championship.

The 39-year-old American fired a six-under par 64 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

Sharing second on 65 were Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, playing without his regular caddie and coach after a London restaurant robbery, plus Canada’s Taylor Pendrith and France’s Matthieu Pavon.

Matsuyama was robbed in London on a stopover on his way to the United States from the Paris Olympics, where he took the bronze. He only lost his wallet while his caddie and coach lost their passports and visas.
