Russell Knox shot a nine-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Safeway Open, the first event of the new PGA Toiur season. #SafewayOpen#PGATOUR#SilveradoResort#NapaValleypic.twitter.com/BCNo5t9o61 — Safeway Open September 10, 2020 “I knew this week that par-5 scoring would be big to your ultimate performance,” Knox said. Obviously, it was a day where a lot of good things happened and definitely nice to get off to a good start.” Knox was admittedly disappointed by missing out on the FedExCup playoffs he had qualified the previous six years but used the time off to prepare for the Safeway Open while adjusting to new coach Mark McCann. “I’ve worked as hard as I ever have the last two weeks before this event, so it’s really nice to see something good happen immediately,” Knox said.
