[ASFN Admin]

American Daniel Berger fired an opening round 9-under 63 Thursday in the 48th Arnold Palmer Invitational to set the pace at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

Berger’s bogey-free 63 is the lowest opening round score at the Arnold Palmer Invitational since Adam Scott matched the course record of 62 back in 2014.

Berger’s first‑round 63 is one stroke shy of the tournament course record at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

Four players have recorded rounds of 62 in the history of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, most recently Adam Scott in 2014 (first round).
