Russell Henley dominated the first round of the 2025 Tour Championship, shooting a 9-under 61 and taking a two-stroke lead. His impressive round included seven birdies and an eagle, along with exceptional putting. Scottie Scheffler is in second place, followed by a group of players tied at -6. While Henley's consistent play makes him a strong contender, the tournament is far from over with 54 holes remaining. Many top players, including Scheffler and McIlroy, are still within striking distance. The possibility of a first-time FedEx Cup winner adds excitement to the competition.
