Dave Tindall recommended Chandler Phillips each-way for first-round leader at the Cognizant Classic, citing his opening 66 at PGA National last year that put him ninth after Thursday before a withdrawal. Tindall also pointed to Phillips’s strong form in Florida, including a third-place finish at the Valspar Championship, and his multiple top-five positions after round one during the Fall Series. Tindall noted Phillips’s late morning tee time from the 10th hole, observing that golfers in that window have led after day one in previous years.
