Teammates Patrick Reed and Harold Varner III fed off each other in the all-4Aces GC group during Friday’s first round of LIV Golf Dallas presented by Aramco.
They hope to do the same on Saturday.
Reed and Varner each shot 5-under 67s at Maridoe Golf Club to emerge as co-leaders on the individual leaderboard while also fueling the 4Aces to the commanding advantage in the team competition.
It was a dominating day for the 4Aces, with captain Dustin Johnson contributing a 2-under 70 that included chip-ins for a birdie and an eagle on his first two holes. It was the kind of performance reminiscent of the 4Aces’ dominance during the inaugural 2022 LIV Golf season when they won four consecutive regular-season tournaments, then claimed the season-ending Team Championship.
