The American Express 2024 Friday tee times and pairings explored

Day 1 of The American Express 2024 ended with Zach Johnson and Alex Noren sharing the lead. Both the 2023 US Ryder Cup Captain and the Swedish veteran carded 10-under 62 in the opening round. They took a joint single-stroke lead over the rest of the field after 18 holes. The duo will now return on Friday to defend their places in the second round.

Both Noren and Johnson began their American Express outings from the La Quinta Country Club course on Thursday. However, the two leaders will take the first tee on Friday from the PGA West – Nicklaus Tournament course. Johnson will tee off on Round 2 at 12:14 pm from the 10th tee of the course. Brandt Snedeker will join him. Meanwhile, Noren will tee off at 12:47 pm alongside T3 Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

For the unversed, Johnson shot a bogey-free round with the help of ten birdies in the opening round of The American Express. It is noteworthy that the Ryder Cup skipper hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2015, when he won the Open Championship.

Meanwhile, Noren shot 62 with the help of ten birdies and an eagle. The top duo are followed by Bezuidenhout and Rico Hoey, who carded 9-under 63 to share T3.
