Who is leading the 2024 Cognizant Classic after Day 1? Round 1 leaderboard explored

Chad Ramey and S.H. Kim shared a single-stroke lead at the Cognizant Classic 2024 after shooting a bogey-free 7-under 64 in the opening round. Ramey sank seven birdies in the opening round, while Kim birdied five holes and eagled the par-5, third hole.

This is the first time in six starts this season that Ramey shot a first-round under 70. So far, he has missed three cuts in the last five starts.

At the post-round interview, he reflected on his first round at Cognizant Classic.

"I started off pretty strong from the get-go," he said. "Hit two solid shots on 1, made probably 25-foot putt or so, maybe 30 feet. Then the whole front side I was pretty solid through the bag. Hit it well, putted well, chipped in once. Very solid through the whole bag."

Andrew Novak, Ryan Moore, Austin Eckroat, Cameron Young, Chesson Hadley, and David Skinns were all tied for third after carding a 6-under 65 in the first round of the Cognizant Classic. Novak was going 7-under before the 20-foot par putt on the par-4, 7th, 17th hole of his round.

C.T. Pan, Billy Horschel, Sam Ryder, Bud Cauley, Chandler Keith Phillips, Erik van Rooyen, and Kevin Yu were tied for ninth at 5-under 66 after the starting round of the Cognizant Classic.

Defending champion Chris Kirk and thirteen other players were tied at 16 after shooting 4-under 67 in the opening round of the Cognizant Classic.
