2022 Sanderson Farms Championship leaderboard, scores: Davis Riley, Will Gordon share lead after Round 1

Can two youngsters make a run at next year's Ryder Cup?

The PGA Tour returns following a terrific Presidents Cup with a fun Sanderson Farms Championship to kick-start the rest of the last fall as we know it for the foreseeable future. The tournament in Jackson, Mississippi, has become a fun fall staple -- the type of throwback PGA Tour event that doesn't really define the Tour anymore but provides a great launching pad for young talent and a nice landing spot for old stalwarts.

Sam Burns, fresh off his first Team USA event, rolled in as the defending champion and he played nicely on the first day at the Country Club of Jackson. However, he still trails the leaders -- and there are a lot of them -- after 18 holes.

Let's take a look at his round as well as who else is in the hunt this week.
