(Reuters) - Spaniard Jon Rahm enjoyed a dream day with the putter and charged to a three-shot lead with an eight-under-par 62 in the first round of the WGC-St. Jude Classic in Memphis on Thursday.

Rahm sank a bunch of medium-length putts in the 15-to-20-foot range, notching eight birdies at TPC Southwind, where he got up-and-down from 60 yards at his final hole to keep his card bogey-free.
