Wyndham Clark +1400 (3 shots back, +1.5 ball-striking in round 1, gained in every SG area, has won this year and has the firepower to contend)

Brian Harman +6600 (3 shots back, +4.0 ball-striking, past U.S. Open runner up)

Weather Forecast – Los Angeles, California

The infamous marine layer in California lasted throughout much of the day in Thursday’s first round. Scoring was actually 0.30 strokes easier for the afternoon wave. Tomorrow’s weather gives a slight wind edge to the morning. And if the clouds break earlier in the day, it could turn into small morning advantage.

Showdown Wave Edge: AM 55/45
