T. Kim fired a flawless 9-under 62 to seize a one-shot lead after the first round of the Travelers Championship on Thursday, with world number one Scottie Scheffler lurking three strokes back.

Kim, ranked 20th in the world, birdied four of his first six holes on the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, and followed with another three in a row from the 12th.
