Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas all shot -4 or better as they chase Niemann
The best week of the PGA Tour's West Coast swing got off to a banger of a start with multiple major champions dotting the leaderboard and Riviera Country Club living up to its billing. One of the better (and perhaps more underrated) ball strikers in the world leads a crew of several more of them after the first round.
The Leader
Joaquin Niemann (-8): Three strokes better than the rest of the field and nearly two of those came from tee to green. Niemann hit the top of his ceiling on Thursday and showed just how extraordinarily high it is.
Other Contenders
T2. Max Homa, Cameron Young, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth (-5) T6. Charley Hoffman, C.T. Pan, Collin Morikawa, Jason Kokrak, Cameron Smith, Justin Thomas (-4)
Two takeaways
1. Riviera vs. Saudi: Thursday's first 18 was a nice reprieve from all the Super Golf League talk, which again exploded on Thursday morning with this bombshell on Phil Mickelson from Alan Shipnuck.
Shot of the day
Aaron Beverly, who is this year's Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption recipient into the tournament did a press conference with Woods on Wednesday and then had to tee off in front of the Big Cat on Thursday morning to start the event.
Quote of the day
"I love Riviera. I think it's arguably, it's in the conversation as the best golf course in the world. It's more so that than anything else really, but obviously the fact that it's an invitational and Tiger's taken it over and all that added stuff, too, but I would have said that before it game a TGR Foundation event." -- Jordan Spieth
One thing I loved
