Each of the trio carded 64 to commence their PGA Tour seasons in fine fashion.

They lead by one from South Korea’s Tom Kim, who picked up two eagles en route to an opening round 65.

England’s Matt Fitzpatrick is among six players who are two strokes back on six under.

Despite the leaders’ low scores, only three shots separates the top 16 players headed into the second round.

The winner of this week's tournament will pocket €2.7million, while the player who finishes in last position will still take home €200,000.
