The Americans Lee Hodges and Patrick Cantlay march as leaders in the classification of The American Express, which is being held at the La Quinta Golf Club (California), after the dispute of a first day in which Jon Rahm also had a good start.
Hodges and Cantlay closed the day with a spectacular record of 62 shots, 10 under par. Both achieved this mark after getting eight birdies and an eagle, which allowed them to have a two-stroke advantage over South Korea’s Kyoung-Hoon Lee and American Cameron Young, who finished with 64 strokes.
He didn’t have a bad start either Jon Rahm, who after the first day is in thirteenth position with 66 strokes after completing the course on the first day from less to more, achieving six birdies on holes 5,6, 10, 11, 13 and 16 for no bogey. A good start in the battle that the Basque maintains from a distance with Collin Morikawa to retain number one in the world ranking.
