Smith, whose buildup to the Masters included winning The Players Championship last month, began his charge at the par\u002Dfour fifth
Smith carded eight birdies over a sizzling 12-hole stretch en route to a four-under-par 68 that left him with a one-shot clubhouse lead.
“Just staying patient,” world number six Smith said of his mindset. “I love this place. I know it presents plenty of birdies. I just really had to get in a groove.” He tapped in for birdie at the par-three sixth and flashed his stellar short game as he never had to putt from further than 11 feet for his remaining six birdies.Article content
