U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson ripped off six straight birdies amid a 10-under-par 62 and is tied with Sweden's Alex Noren for the lead after one round of The American Express on Thursday in La Quinta, Calif.
Johnson and Noren each played their first rounds at La Quinta Country Club, one of three courses used for this week's tournament. Players will also play a round at PGA West's Pete Dye Stadium Course and Nicklaus Tournament Course before a 54-hole cut. The Stadium Course will host Sunday's final round.
