Fisher and Garcia flying high in America

England's Ross Fisher is in a two-way tie for the lead at the end of day one of the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.

Fisher carded a blemish-free six-under-par 64 to sit on the top of the pile alongside American Chris Stroud, a shot clear of a group of eight players including defending champion Sergio Garcia and former Masters Champion Trevor Immelman.

Fisher was in the last threesome to go out and his round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-five fifth, when he hit his approach shot to seven feet.

“My manager said, 'You've got nothing to lose. Just go out there all guns blazing and see what happens',” said Fisher.

"I know what I've got to do, and I've just got to go enjoy it, and if it's meant to be, it'll happen. I don't want it to end here."

Garcia missed just one green as he began his title defence in style, but he was taking nothing for granted.

"It was a great round today, but it's only Thursday," he said.
