Greyserman, Cole share lead at inaugural Biltmore tournament

Max Greyserman and Eric Cole shot matching 7-under 64s to share the first-round lead at the inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville in North Carolina. Greyserman, returning to action after a five-week break to secure his PGA Tour card, carded four consecutive birdies on the rain-softened course. Cole briefly held the solo lead but dropped a shot on his final hole to settle for a share of the top spot.

The tournament features seven players preparing for the upcoming Presidents Cup. American debutant Jacob Bridgeman opened with a 4-under 66, while Canada's Nick Taylor led the International contingent with a 5-under 67. The event marks the PGA Tour's first visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains region since 1942.
