The top of the leaderboard is dominated by Americans, with Billy Horschel, Patton Kizzire, Tom Hoge, Rob Hoppenheim and Harold Varner III, who all played their opening round on the North Course, in a tie for second on five-under.

Defending champion and world number two Jason Day is six shots behind the lead on level-par, while Rickie Fowler, who won last week in Abu Dhabi, is one-over.
