It was NBA star Steph Curry who led the way, taking a four-point lead into the weekend following an impressive round on Friday.
Curry had 27 points in the opening round under a form of the modified Stableford scoring system that awards a point for par, three for birdie and six for eagle and deducts two points for double bogey or worse.
The competition is being played on the shores of Lake Tahoe at Edgewood.
Both Alvarez and Mahomes could enjoy one of the most scenic golf courses in the world before they get down to business.
