The first day of the 2024 American Express in La Quinta, California, has come and gone, and there’s a familiar name tied for the lead.
Zach Johnson, the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain and two-time major winner, shot 10-under 62 at La Quinta Country Club and is tied with Alex Noren for the lead after 18 holes. Noren also played La Quinta in the opening round, matching Johnson’s 62.
Rico Hoey and Christiaan Bezuidenhout are tied for third one shot back. There’s a big chasing pack at 8 under, including Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay and 2023 U.S. Amateur champion Nick Dunlap.
The American Express is held at three courses: Pete Dye’s PGA West Stadium Course, PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament Course and La Quinta Country Club. A cut will be made after 54 holes.
The purse this week is $8.4 million with the winner taking home $1.512 million.
