The PGA TOUR returns to the mainland this week for the 65th annual playing of The American Express. This event is the first multi-course event of the season. Justin Thomas will be teeing it up for the first time this year, his first appearance in La Quinta since finishing T7 in 2015. He’ll be looking to replicate the form which saw him claim three-straight top-fives worldwide after missing out on the FedExCup Playoffs. Scottie Scheffler will also be in California this week and has three top-25 results at The American Express in his career highlighted by a solo third in 2020. He also managed a T5 at The Sentry two weeks ago. Min Woo Lee will also like his chances this week in the Coachella Valley as he concluded 2023 as one of the hottest on the planet with a pair of wins worldwide highlighting a stretch of five-straight top-15s. Others to look out for are Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris.

Diabolical it’s Roger Sloan’s third into 16 love the way the head tune there the rotation of the body and how about that for stepen jger lot of green to work with at eight oh it’s tracking it’s tracking stepen jger with the eagle chipping didn’t like his second shot he’ll love his
Third this is Ryan Moore his fourth so for birdie off the green Ryan Moore owner of perhaps the greatest amateur season in the history of the game get a sharp angle of attack and bring it in low and skip it down there well very nicely done I’d say so I’d say
So here’s the hole in one man Joe heith oh get it temperatures now in the low 70s yeah you get these guys short arms in their hands they can just absolutely knock it down Green receptive enough and how about that Justin Thomas hitting his second shot at the
First hole his 10th of the day on the Nicholas course turn to do another wedge front hole location beautifully done missed a short pck Nicholas tournament course Ricky Fowler in the field he’s at two under this is second on the way yeah not a great start to his
His day bogie the start on the back nine bogie 12 and 13 offset by mention Justin Thomas playing with Ricky fer this his second at the second on the Nicholas yeah I watched him warm up this morning he looked great you know just every single shot right down the pipe
And that is another one here we are on the ninth now at the Nicholas tournament course Jason day uphill birdie putt dang it that’s a drop oh Adam hadwin who posted a 59 in this event second at 14 Stadium Course yeah another great opportunity scoring opportunity here and have enough yes Troy Merritt
His ninth birdie of the day wow and Troy is now eight under for his round Keith Mitchell deals with the 15th has not made a birdie since the turn after reeling in four in the opening nine and that represents the best chance left center with a bullet little fate look out
Guys out like small a second at 12 at 10 under yeah again down this left side so his view of this whole location be partially blocked but using that slope like that’s an Amer shot in there cam d on the front of the green for birdie he’s a winner on the PGA tour
Back at the 2021 rocket mortgage classic if you were to create a PGA Tour player Oh Davis gets that to go at 11 under I mean he’s like build a pro in a video game that’s what you’d want PGA tour pro to look like Nick Taylor on the
Green here on the te here at the fourth the par three 182 same home locations same distances the first three days for these courses yeah good par three certainly the less intimidating of the four here what a shot man there’s no influence on either side of this
Hole importance of birding the par five though just make a good stroke and walk it in bounce back the one out of that group that didn’t but yeah they’re all buzzing about Montreal and Davis is second here at 18 ah gorgeous t- shot put him in a good
Spot to get at this right hole location right down the throat what a day he’s having saying this week he’s from Southern California feels like a home game for him can’t Le a 14 under now T3 three back of the leader Burns pickup for minwu Lee in the water here on 13 this
Is third for par Woody yeah took his relief slow putt up the hill but not much in it in terms of break and that’s how you do it how about that save just a three nice there you go Ricky Fowler is hitting his second on the par five going with the long iron
Launching it way up in the air Ricky hits it pretty high anyway and trying to land it softly Ricky Fowler that’ll be left for Eagle Hoy this is second at 12 yeah really looking forward to watching this play this fellow play all year just another beautiful shot you know shot nine under yesterday
Here at 18 Adam hadwin this for birdie yes sir borrowed quite a bit and it was perfect what a read couple of 65s and great back nine for hadwin to get it to 14 under everything can go wrong is going wrong right now meanwhile Ricky Fowler over at the Nicholas tournament
Course coming off birdie makes another birdie an unexpected birdie for Ricky Fowler downhill to 167 this is a big nine iron for Lee and with the bad Iron shots we’ve seen him hit this wouldn’t have been nerve free all right Beauty this the third shot for minwood
Lee at the 15th what’s the play here well you need to bump something into the hill or try and carry something if a Li’s good enough or just do that George the technical term for that would be filth now norin at the last here at Nicholas
Course this on the 18th noren to get within three come on somebody made it she’s got to ask for it Terry and this is Nick Taylor’s second shot to the Par Four see him out of the Fairway bunker Taylor currently at 8 under that has him in a share of 60th
