The 20-year-old plays collegiately at UCLA and qualified by shooting a 68 at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, California to advance to Hillcrest where he carded 130 to earn medalist honors.

Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau lead the big American names out early, while Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrell Hatton fly the flag for Europe. 

Thomas, Lowry and Fleetwood will tee off at 10.40am ET from the first, while DeCheambeau and Hatton, alongside Italy’s Francesco Molinari will tackle the back nine first at the same time.
