An unlikely leader emerged at the 2013 Tampa Bay Championship on Thursday.

Texas native Shawn Stefani, who played in just one PGA Tour event last year, started off strong at Copperhead, posting a six-under 65 on Day 1.

Luke Donald, the defending champion of the tournament (formerly known as the Transitions Championship), finds himself a few strokes behind the leader, but he's still in range to make a push in the next three days.

Here's a look at the leaderboard, highlights and analysis of the first round in Copperhead.

Shawn Stefani, who placed 36th at the Houston Open last year (his only PGA Tour event of 2012), ended Day 1 with a six-under 65, posting six birdies along the way. Stefani placed 39th at the Puerto Rico Open last week after missing three straight cuts.

Brian Harman, who tied for 18th place at the Puerto Rico Open, had a fine day, finishing with a four-under 67. The 26-year-old Georgia native posted five birdies on the day, complete with a 22-foot birdie putt on hole No. 5. Harman missed the cut at the tournament last year.

Harris English also had a nice Thursday overall at Copperhead. The American posted a three-under 68, complete with five birdies—a double bogey on the last hole made it a rough close to the day. English has one top-10 finish this year (Sony Open), and he missed the cut at the tournament last year.
