With Hurricaine Earl bearing down on the East Coast, the 99-man field at the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston beat the weather and completed the first round.

The tees were moved up in anticipation of the expected high winds, but the terrible conditions never really came to fruition. Eighty-three of the golfers took advantage of the shortened course and tallied under-par rounds.

Former Husky All-American Alex Prugh was among the golfers in the red, carding a first round 3-under 68. He was poised for an even lower score, but a double-bogey on the sixth hole cost him two strokes. He had teed off his round from the 10th hole and was three-under after the turn.

Jason Day and Zach Johnson each shot 8-under 63 in Friday's first round to share the lead. Eight golfers were at 7-under, including Tacoma's Ryan Moore. Tiger Woods struggled in the first round ending up +1.
