La Quinta Country Club: Indian-origin players Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala endured mixed starts amid exceptionally low scoring conditions on the opening day of The American Express, where World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler produced a flawless bogey-free 9-under 63 to finish just one shot off the lead.

Bhatia, teeing it up at La Quinta Country Club, opened his campaign with a steady 4-under 68, while Theegala faced the sternest test of the three-course rotation at the Pete Dye Stadium Course and signed for a 1-under 71.

Indo-Canadian Sudarshan Yellamaraju, coming off an impressive tied-13th finish last week, carded a 2-under 70 on the Nicklaus Tournament Course but found himself well down the leader board due to the extremely low scores across the field.
