Three-way tie for lead at LIV Golf Houston, Cleeks lead team race
==========
Rookie Caleb Surrat and the experienced duo of Martin Kaymer and Adrian Meronk shared the day one lead at LIV Golf Houston on Friday with 2023 team champions Crushers GC in seventh place. Defending team champions Crushers GC were in seventh place, six shots behind day one leaders Cleeks GC on after the opening day of LIV Golf Houston in Humble, Texas, while Legion XIII member Caleb Surrat was in a three-way tie at the top of the individual leaderboard on Friday. The Crushers were led by a bogey-free 5 under par 67 by Paul Casey with counting contributions of 2 under 69s from team captain Bryson DeChambeau and Anirban Lahiri to total 11 under for the day with the Cleeks on 17 under powered by matching 65s from captain Martin Kaymer and Adrian Meronk. Surrat’s error-free 65 pulled Jon Rahm’s Legion XIII into a tie for third place alongside the all-Australian Rippers GC, 2022 season toppers 4Aces and the Spanish-speaking Fireballs GC on 12 under par totals. Torque GC were second on 14 under par, three shots behind the leaders. The 20-year-old Surratt, youngest on LIV Golf’s roster, put behind his early season wobbles and his opening run at the Golf Club of Houston left him a happy golfer. The Cleeks’ on 17 under may have put them on track for their first trophy of any kind, and Friday was the first time they have led the field since last year’s opening round in Adelaide. US Open-bound Kaymer, one of 12 LIV Golf personnel scheduled to play next week at Pinehurst, also seems to have rediscovered his touch after coming through surgery on his wrist. Kevin Na of the Iron Heads and Carlos Ortiz of Torque were a shot behind the three leaders on 6 under 66 with seven players a further two shots back, including individual points leader Joaquin Niemann of Torque and hometown favourite Patrick Reed of the 4Aces. In all, 41 of the 54 players in the field broke par, with nine returning bogey-free rounds, as the winds died down on a steamy afternoon at the Golf Club of Houston.
