The American pair, making their first appearances since featuring for Team USA in their Ryder Cup defeat at Le Golf National, posted five-under 66s to sit three off the lead in Las Vegas.

Uihlein fired five birdies in a six-hole stretch on his way to hold a one-shot advantage over Seth Reeves, who posted a bogey-free round but missed an eight-foot putt on his final hole to grab a share of the lead.

Play was suspended for darkness at 5.43pm local time (12.43am GMT), with Wyndham Clark – four under after 15 holes – one of 20 players unable to complete their rounds.

Spieth mixed seven birdies with two bogeys on his tournament debut at TPC Summerlin, with DeChambeau signing for a blemish-free card and Si Woo Kim, Whee Kim, Sebastian Munoz and Sam Ryder also in the group on five under.

“It’s getting close to where I feel like I can just kind of point, aim, shoot, which is where I want to be,” Spieth said. “If I shoot three more rounds like today it’s probably good enough (to win).”

Scotland’s Martin Laird is four strokes back after an opening-round 67, while Rickie Fowler made two eagles in a three-under 68 and Chris Stroud fired a hole-in-one on his way to a two-under 69.
