Any stats chaps out there know if the early front runners ever stay there? Not thinking of backing either of them, just curious. Did Tiger ever lead from the front or just loiter ready to pounce?
Immelman and Weir in last 10 years. Can't be bothered looking further back than that but Tiger has never won from the front after day 1. His best start when winning is a 70

2008 Trevor Immelman 2015 Jordan Spieth 2017 In the first round the highlight was the play of Charley Hoffman, who finished the day with a score of 65 and a 7-under that earned him the top spot on the leaderboard and a four-stroke lead. On a day in which golfers had to battle incredibly high winds, Charley’s score was just the second one that finished inside the 60s (McGirt 69). In fact, he was a whole 10 shots better than the average score on the day (75). Hoff shot 65,75,72,78 for T22 along with McGirt, Day, Thomas & Mickelson.
