Behind him, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas and Webb Simpson sit T2 at 5 under, followed by a lengthy list of names — among them, reigning champion Tiger Woods at 4 under.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers has moved ahead of Hall of Famer Dan Marino on the NFL’s all-time passing list. Rivers’ first completion, an 11-yard pass to rookie running back Jonathan Taylor against the Tennessee Titans last night, moved him ahead of Marino for fifth in career passing yards. Rivers entered the game in Nashville, Tennessee, with 61,358 passing yards in his 17-year career, needing just 4 yards to pass Marino. He finished the night 29-for-39 passing for 308 yards, putting him at 61,666 yards for his career. The Colts won 34-17.
