The first round of the 2024 Hero World Challenge is in the books.
Cameron Young raced out to a lead with a bogey-free 8-under 64, and Justin Thomas shot a back-nine 30 to get into second place. There’s a big group at 5 under, including defending champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who debuted a new putting grip. Nick Dunlap, still 20, is having a blast, even though he could very likely still be a college junior.
The four-day, 72-hole stroke play event has a $5 million purse and a $1 million first-place prize. There are also OWGR points up for grabs this week.
