Briefly: Matt Every shoots a 61 for lead in PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship

It's moving time for PGA Tour players who want into the FedEx Cup playoffs, and Matt Every made his move Thursday with a 9-under-par 61 at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C.

Every arrived at par-70 Sedgefield Country Club in a tie for 183rd on the FedEx Cup points list. The top 125 qualify for the Northern Trust next week in New York.

Every tied the tournament's record for an opening round. Henrik Stenson opened with a 62. Seven players shot 63, and 53-year-old Davis Love III shot a 64.

A 33-year-old with two career victories on tour, Every hit his high mark this season with a tie for 14th at the Canadian Open, and he had a string of seven consecutive tournaments starting in April in which he either withdrew or missed the cut.

"I have a high regard for my talent. Like, I know I'm as talented as anyone out here — maybe like five guys are more talented than me — so I couldn't let myself quit," Every said.

"There were a lot of low points, though. That's life. Just everything that I've been through, I've brought on myself. So I don't need any sympathy or anything. It's just the way my path has gone so far in the last couple years."

Stenson, the 2016 British Open champion and FedEx Cup winner in 2013, had eight birdies in his bogey-free round and could have had another one but missed a 6-foot birdie putt on No. 15.

It was Hirscher's first day on skis since last season. The new season, which includes the Olympics, starts Oct. 29 with a giant slalom in Soelden, Austria.

Hirscher straddled a gate at the Moelltaler glacier near Vienna. He posted a video of the incident on his Facebook page and said "the next ski day has to wait a little bit."

North Carolina wrapped up a two-day hearing with an NCAA infractions committee panel that will decide whether the school faces penalties tied to its academic scandal.

Officials from the school and the NCAA met for four hours Thursday after 11 hours Wednesday. It was a major step toward resolution in a long-delayed case tied to irregular courses.

Neither side commented. Rulings in such cases typically come weeks after the hearing. There's still the potential for the case to linger beyond a ruling if UNC decides to appeal or pursue legal action.

Zajac was hurt last week while training. He had surgery Thursday and was told recovery could last until February.
