Talor Gooch, the 2023 Individual champion, took an early lead with a bogey-free 7-under 63, which was matched by Jason Kokrak and Sebastián Muñoz.

Brooks Koepka is in a five-way tie for fourth, just one stroke back after his 64, on a day when play was suspended for 80 minutes due to inclement weather. Gooch, Kokrak, and Koepka's scores propelled the Smash team to a four-shot lead over Ripper GC and Legion XIII on the team leaderboard.
