(Reuters) - Spaniard Jon Rahm made a stunning start to his professional career with a flawless seven-under-par 64 that gave him a one-shot lead after the first round of the Tiger Woods-hosted Quicken Loan National on Thursday.

Rahm, who last week was the only amateur to make the cut at the U.S. Open, fired seven birdies at the event which benefits Woods's charitable foundation to lead Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas by a stroke.
