The first round of the Honda Classic tees off at PGA National Thursday. It's the final year with Honda as the title sponsor, a deal that started back in ...

The deal started in 1982. The Honda Classic's economic impact on Palm Beach County and much of the rest of South Florida is estimated at $65-million. The final Honda Classic tees off on Thursday with the first round of play at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens.

SHANE LOWRY was thrilled with his game and his burgeoning relationship with caddie Darren Reynolds after opening with a two-under 68 in the Honda Classic.

"I think it lipped out. "Tee to green last week I was very good as well. I like the way we're working. "Tee to green I was good," said Lowry, who bounced back from back-to-back missed cuts by finishing 14th at the Genesis Invitational. Darren and I are getting on well. "I'm happy with two-under today.

PGA National's Champion course is a far cry from linksland, yet John Garrity marvels at the penchant of Irishmen to play well at the Florida stop.

“Yes, if it didn’t rain, the probability was I might have made birdie and got into a playoff, but it wasn’t a God-given right to win,” he said. In fact, he is playing eight of nine weeks to open his season. The winner of the 2019 Open Championship in his home country of Ireland, now ranked 20th in the world, Lowry, 35, has a U.S. He went and won the tournament.” (He hit 15 of 18 greens in regulation.) In mild conditions, the Champion course had provided a morning that was scoring-friendly, but Lowry didn’t get enough putts to fall to take full advantage. Straka was in the fairway some 330 yards ahead, his tee shot unimpeded by the elements, a mid-iron in his hand at the closing par 5, where he made a clinching birdie to win.

Irishman was majestic off the tee at PGA National but had a tough day on the greens.

Another pleasing aspect for Lowry was the developing relationship with new caddie Darren Reynolds. It was hard when you’re 20 feet and you don’t want to leave yourself too many three-, four-, five-footers with a lot of grain around the hole. Of his struggles on the greens, Lowry said: “There’s a lot more grass on them than I remember here.

Joseph Bramlett was a surprise joint-leader of the Honda Classic along with Billy Horschel after the opening round at PGA National.

"I definitely like when the conditions are difficult and guys have to really earn it," Bramlett, who has never won on the PGA Tour, said. Just happy to play well." Coody has two wins in 15 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour since turning pro in June. You're just playing golf, you're trying to put a good score together. "But this week with just the way I'm feeling and everything, energy's still not completely 100 percent every day.

A couple of budding young studs are in the mix at PGA National behind co-leaders Billy Horschel and Joseph Bramlett.

Im is the rock here, and Lowry is to be trusted as well, but if you're looking for value, you can find it in the Longhorn (or Suh at 18-1 as well). Coody (45-1!) is the play here. The first few golf courses that we played, I won in Panama and it could not be more similar to this. "I would have loved to get my PGA Tour [card] last year, obviously, but I'm still excited to play a full season of professional golf out there and see how well I can do. In fact, the more boring the better. They both shot 4 under on Thursday in Round 1 of the Honda Classic.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Billy Horschel has never won a PGA TOUR event in his home state of Florida. His quest to change that is off to a fine start.

Past Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington played with the 2023 Ryder Cup captains, Luke Donald of Europe and Zach Johnson of the U.S. "It really just feels like another professional event," the grandson of 1971 Masters champion Charles Coody said.

“Now we’ve just got to find who that sponsor is going to be for the future, and at the same time, we need to make sure that the date itself is in a better spot. At the end of the day, it’s what are we doing to give back to our community?” The Honda was stuck in its date. “I’m born and raised in the state of Florida. “The transparency is there, the relationship between the Tour and our team is there. Which raises the question: What is to become not only of the Honda but also other non-designated PGA Tour events in this new era? This is his 11th time teeing it up in the event. We’re fortunate to have had Honda for that long, the longest-running sponsor in golf. “Friends of mine were following Rory, who at the time was in the last group, and they said they heard the roar all the way down on 13 green when Tiger made the eagle on 18.” Fast forward another year — to 2024 — and the Honda Classic won’t even be called the Honda. McIlroy shot 69 and beat Woods by two to win for the third time on Tour and ascend to World No. With 218 yards left to a pin tucked in the front-right corner of the green, he went flag-hunting.

Americans Billy Horschel and Joseph Bramlett shared the first round lead at the PGA Tour's Honda Classic on Thursday after shooting five-under rounds of 65.

You still got to step up and make some good swings on a lot of these holes," he said. So, the course itself is a little bit softer and it's lending itself to some better scores. So when I do those two things I usually score pretty well," he said. "There's a saying - beware of the injured or sick golfer. "The course is really receptive. "But you've still got to hit quality golf shots around here.

The opening round of The Honda Classic played out, well, about as expected.

Bramlett opened at +5000 and moved swiftly up the board after grabbing a share of the lead, but this adjustment may be a little too heavy-handed for a player still without a win (and without many significant shots at contention). Bramlett is undoubtedly playing some of the best golf of his career, coming in off a pair of top-13 finishes at Torrey Pines and Pebble Beach, and he had the entire package Thursday at PGA National: fourth in SG: Tee-to-Green, third in SG: Putting. Young will return to the par-3 seventh hole in the morning, where he’ll need to save par from just off the green and with the benefit of placing his ball back in the rough. We’ve seen players spring to life when the venues shift from the West Coast to Florida (think Kevin Kisner), and we’ve seen this event produce unlikely contenders with little track record to speak of (think a fresh-faced Daniel Berger in 2015). It's up to him to start rolling in the putts, but this price is largely based on the premise that he won’t heat up on the greens. The opening round was suspended by darkness Friday night and will resume at dawn, with a handful of players looking to wrap things up before a quick turnaround for Round 2.

AMERICANS BILLY HORSCHEL and Joseph Bramlett shared the first round lead at the PGA Tour's Honda Classic on Thursday after shooting five-under rounds of 65.

The Offaly native started on the back nine and picked up four birdies throughout his opening round, including back-to-back birdies on the sixth and seventh holes. He also had bogeys on the second and 10th holes. Meanwhile, Pádraig Harrington is further back on two-over after a round of 72 which included three bogeys and a birdie on the 13th hole.

Bramlett also opened on the back nine and made a 29-foot birdie putt at his opening hole, the par-4 10th. After starting his round on the back nine with three birdies and one bogey, Horschel, a seven-time PGA Tour winner, rolled in three birdies at Nos. A bogey at the second hole saw him slip back but he finished strongly, rattling of back-to-back birdies on the sixth and seventh to leave him three shots off the lead.
