Impact Novak opened the tournament nicely with a bogey-free, seven-under 65 in the first round that included a five-under stretch from holes two to six with three birdies and an eagle. The 30-year-old American stalled over the next two days but opened Sunday with a five-under front nine before going one-over on the back which included two bogeys over the final three holes. Novak ranked 15th in the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and T17 in GIR, though he struggled mightily with the putter, losing nearly five strokes on the green. It's been an up-and-down start to 2026 for Novak, who missed the cut at The Americak Express and WM Phoenix Open, with a T7 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open nestled in between. He is not in the field for The Genesis Invitational next week.
