Rickie Fowler finishes T42 after the first round at The American Express
With four birdies in the first round of the PGA Tour event, The American Express, Fowler finished T42. Rickie made a birdie on the fourth hole, missed the fifth, and then made another on the sixth. His other two birdies were on the ninth and 11th holes.
With a score of 68, he will start the second day of the tournament at T42, alongside 21 other golfers who finished at T42 after the first round.
Davis Thompson, who turned pro in 2021, topped the American Express leaderboard after the first round. The rising star impressed his fans with two consecutive eagles and a birdie on the first hole. He wrapped up the first round with a score of 10 under 62.
Sentry Tournament of Champions winner Jon Rahm is in second place, two shots behind Davis. Last year’s Masters winner, Scottie Scheffler, finished in T42 after the first round.
Korean star Tom Kim settled on T64, joined by Thomas Dieter, Will Zalatoris, and Chris Kirk, who finished third at the Sony Open last week.
It is pertinent to note that Will Zalatoris was struggling with a back injury and was on hiatus for a few months, only to return to play at the Tournament of Champions, finishing at T11 and winning $292,500 in prize money.
