Zurich Classic 2021: Garnett-Stallings, Hovland-Ventura Share Lead After Round 1

Two teams carded a 62 in Round 1 Thursday to lead the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Viktor Hovland and Kris Ventura finished 10 strokes under par in the early session to enter the clubhouse in first place, but the mark was matched by Brice Garnett and Scott Stallings to earn a share of first at TPC Louisiana.

The unique tournament features teams instead of individual play, with the first and third rounds consisting of four-ball where everyone plays their own shot and the best score counts. The second and fourth rounds will feature foursome play, or alternate shot.
