Day One of the Barclays In the Books

If the first day of the FedEx Cup was any indication of the next four weeks, expect to see a lot of young guys in the mix. A lot. You think all my buddies buy Powerball tickets for nothing? It's because young guys love thinking about winning $10 million.

Hunter Mahan scorched Ridgewood Country Club on Thursday, firing a 9-under 62 with consecutive 31s. Mahan's eagle to start wasn't bad either.

Other young guns in the hunt include Paul Casey (2nd), Kevin Streelman and Charley Hoffman (t-3) and Adam Scott (t-8).

A rather entertaining first day of golf showed that this FedEx thing might be interesting after all. Can we get a Schmickelson sighting tomorrow?
