The par fives proved to be a haven for Shane Lowry in the opening round at the Northern Trust.
He managed to birdie each of the three on the course in New Jersey.
The Clara man had to battle his way around the course as he looks to make the top 70 for next week's event in the FedEx-Playoffs.
A double bogey to open on the 10th followed by another dropped shot on twelve and Lowry looked in a spot of bother at three-over par.

He is back on the course at 12:30pm Irish time this afternoon alongside Scotsman Martin Laird and Canadian MacKenzie Hughes.
There are two other Irishmen in the field, Seamus Power is one under par and Rory McIlroy who sits on the same score as Lowry.
World number one John Rahm and Justin Thomas share top spot on 8 under.
