With his ball in a bunker, Graham DeLaet looks over his notes for the best approach on on the 15th hole.

DeLaet had three birdies against a single bogey, as well as holing his approach from 108 yards to the ninth for eagle in a round of 67.

DeLaet entered the week in 72nd place in the FedEx Cup Standings.

"We couldn't see the bottom of the pin, but there was reaction from the crowd so we figured it was in, " DeLaet said.

"I'm looking forward to not getting up at 4:45 a.m. again like I did this morning", DeLaet said laughing.

In his first six RBC Heritage appearances, DeLaet's best finish was 14th a year ago.

DeLaet is seeking his first tour win and knows it will take a mental effort to keep him straight.

Ogilvy made a promising start with birdies at the second and fourth holes but he faltered with successive double bogeys at the 11th and 12th.
