Carlos Franco shot a 2-under-par 36-34=68 in the opening round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Saddled with Past Champion status, Franco has virtually zero fantasy value, but it's worth noting that he's back in action since withdrawing from the Puerto Rico Open with a foot injury. The Paraguayan is coming off a T10 in the Tour de las Americas event in Argentina on Sunday, so he's warm, which helps explain today's good score. Solid putting saved his round. He hit just nine GIR but needed just 24 swipes with the blade.
