Zach Johnson took the early lead at The American Express 2024. The 2023 US Ryder Cup Captain ended Day 1 on top of the leaderboard, alongside Sweden’s Alex Noren. The ace American golfer carded 10-under 62 in the opening round to take a joint single-stroke lead over the rest of the field.The leaders will return on Friday to defend their places ahead of the Friday cut. Johnson, who began his American Express outing from the La Quinta Country Club course on Thursday, will tee off Friday at 12:14 pm. He will take round 2’s first tee from the 10th tee of the PGA West – Nicklaus Tournament course. He will join Brandt Snedeker in following the pairing of Greyson Sigg and Justin Suh.Zach Johnson shot a bogey-free round with ten birdies on Thursday. It is safe to say that the golfer has his eyes set on The American Express' top prize. Notably, the Ryder Cup captain’s last win on the PGA Tour came in 2015, when he won the Open Championship.It’ll be interesting to see how the golfer fares in California this weekend as he continues to compete with the likes of Noren, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas.The American Express 2024 Round 2 tee timesRound 2 of The American Express 2024 will tee off at 11:30 am with S.H.
