Separate training time for the 2nd round

The Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches got off to a hot start in the opening round. PGA Tour pros benefited the easiest course conditions that PGA National has featured in recent yearswith many players sitting over the first 18 holes. Austin Smotherman took the early lead with an impressive nine-under 62.

But it’s still very early, and with bird chances all over the country, like the stars Brooks Koepka, Will Zalatoris, Shane Lowry AND Max Homa have plenty of time to catch the leaders, starting with Friday’s second round.

Players who started in Group 1 for Round 1 will move to a start in Group 10 for Round 2.

Koepka, who played the afternoon wave in the opening round, will have an early start at 7:33 a.m. ET for the second round. He will be looking to survive and play the weekend after missing the loss in his last start at the WM Phoenix Open.
