Time moves really fast. It is still January of 2022, and we are about to find out who will be the champion of the third PGA Tour event. After Sentry Tournament of Champions and Sony Open, it is time to discover who will hoist the American Express Course trophy.
The 2022 American Express Course began on the 19th of January. Although only a Round is over, the results are surprisingly not in favor of the fan favorites. Current world no. 1 Jon Rahm is at T13 with a 6-under, while a rookie Lee Hodges leads the board with a 10-under. Patrick Cantlay is currently tied with Hodges after the first round.
