Patrick Cantlay emerged as the leader after the first round of the Genesis Invitational, shooting an impressive 64 at Riviera Country Club. Cantlay's round included eight birdies and only one bogey, giving him a one-shot lead over Jason Day, Cameron Davis, and Luke List. Jordan Spieth is not far behind, sitting two shots off the lead at five under.
However, it was a day of mixed fortunes for some of the big names in golf. Scottie Scheffler struggled with his putting, missing multiple short putts throughout his round. Despite his struggles, Scheffler managed to shoot a three-under 68 and is within four shots of the lead.
