WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — The mustache is gone, and for one round at least, Johnson Wagner also didn’t have to deal with playing bad golf.

Wagner and Tommy Gainey each shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to share a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Greenbrier Classic.

Webb Simpson and Jin Park were close behind after 64s. Daniel Summerhays, Tag Ridings, Steven Bowditch and 50- year-old Neal Lancaster were another shot back.

Players were able to lift, clean and place their balls Thursday after rain fell prior to the start of play.

Gainey and Wagner had bogey-free rounds in the morning. Wagner was 8 under after 12 holes but finished with six straight pars. Both could use a good week — Gainey is 125th in season tour winnings, while Wagner ranks 148th.

Wagner doesn’t have a top- 10 finish this year and the three-time tour champion hasn’t won since the 2012 Sony Open. In his last seven tournaments, he’s missed six cuts and withdrew from the Memorial.

Gainey’s first PGA Tour victory came last fall at the McGladrey Classic, but like Wagner he has missed more cuts than he’s made this year.

Nicknamed “Two Gloves” for wearing gloves on both hands, Gainey had a serious talk with his wife, two other family members and his agent in the past month to try to figure out how to turn around his bad fortunes. Gainey said he had stopped having fun on the course.

Phil Mickelson, playing for the first time since finishing second to Justin Rose at the U.S. Open, struggled to a 74. His tee shot on the par-5 17th landed in Howard’s Creek and he three-putted for triple bogey. He also had five bogeys and four birdies.

A similar round on Friday would mean his third missed cut of the year and the third consecutive time he’s failed to advance to weekend play at the Greenbrier Classic.
