The Corhampton Golf Club ace looked in trouble in Wisconsin as came off the 10th hole on six over par.

However, the 22-year-old made a good recovery by playing the last eight holes in three under.

That left him on three over for his opening round and still in with a shout of making the weekend.

Gregory sits level with world No1 and defending champion Dustin Johnson, with his 75 on day one placing him above the likes of Jason Dufner (+4), and 2016 Masters winner, Danny Willett (+9), in the current standings.

Accompanied by Scottish duo Martin Laird (even par) and Russell Knox (+1), the British Amateur champion gets his second round under way today at 7.58pm BST.
