Jon Rahm of Spain was among those one shot back.
Dustin Johnson, in his first tournament since his slip down the stairs that knocked him out of the Masters, was 2 over for the round, five shots behind. He was through 13 holes.
Phil Mickelson made double bogey on his last hole for a 72 and was at 143.m
