Three events into the 2024 live Golf League season and wo Neeman has announced himself as one of the best players on the planet but his wins in Maya Coba and jeda have only incentivized our major winning golfing Giants John Ram Dustin Johnson cam Smith and Brooks keer are amongst those primed
And so is Bryson Des Shambo whose Crush has produced the greatest comeback win in live golf team history a week ago it’s a beautiful day for day one here and look at the crowds flocking through the entrances here Martin kimer captain of the cleaks teeing off at eight yeah another guy we have
Oh another guy we haven’t talked about a lot haven’t heard from but if his game is on form there is no reason why Martin kimer couldn’t figure into things on this course this week Brendan steel teed off at 13 and this is for Eagle was Martin kimer from the Fairway at number
Nine nice rhythmic swing there from Martin this is getting better and better nearly perfect here’s Ram at the fourth Marty kimer made his birdie at nine the clicks going well in the early stages three and apart yeah well played I you know what Lou I’ll put it in but it’s probably not
Going to grow back John RAM for back-to-back birdies he’s too under in the early going here at the Hong Kong Golf Club and that’s an aerial view of the second green it’ll be nean and his turn for birdie oh come on the first hello nean has been thrown out there you
Are well that is the sort of form that wo nean is in hv3 for birdie at 17 look at the change of grain there yeah punch sh them that’s a great read he’s got driver there’s a little stream that runs very close to the Fairway down the right hand side here
Yeah it cuts in hard from the right if he gets a you know he’s over that bunker and he hits the down slope that stream is very much in play whoa only porn and Game of Life did he get down to the flat guys yeah he
Did my he going to have a wedge in that’s huge Bryson for birdie Henrik Stenson this is the sixth green this for birdie for the swed early going here but C samoya from Finland who won the promotions event in Abu Dhabi which is golf’s equivalent of Willie Wonka’s golden ticket well he’s
Running hot that was for birdie at 12 where he teed off this is his third shot into 13 and that’s another birdie for samoya and he made it three in a row with birdie at 14 the par four so very early on three holes played for Kelly samoya he’s three on the par
Oh Sergio at five so close samoya his second at 15 working on three in a row the Scandinavians they tell Finnish jokes like the rest of the world tells Irish jokes you know how can you tell when a Finn is an extrovert he stares at your shoes when he’s talking to you
Four in a row having teed off at 12 what a start for the Finn Chino Chaka second at the par five number 13 haven’t heard much from him this season yet or much of last well that’ll help yeah oh got an eagle for eano shakar up at
13 Sergio made birdie of five you’re looking at cam Smith second shot at four another one looked a little stuck but it looks pretty good though oh what a shot C to get it back to level par on the fourth y I don’t know what the cleaks put in
Their dim sum this week but they’re eight under par already this is Martin kimer their Captain for birdie at 11 that is superb action across the golf course here at the Hong Kong Golf Club Mark leean teed off at 14 that was his birdie effort at 17 he’s won under par Marty
Kimer is arriving at the live golf party this to tie the lead with C samoya his teammate the clicks off to a quite incredible start there nine under par Charles how the third for birdie at two oh excuse me Harold Varner the third I got the wrong third he made it for a
Two and now Matt Jones his third at 13 oh oh oh yeah that’s an eagle for Matt Jones to take it to three under par this was Eugenio Chaka at 14 to get to three underpar one back of samoya and kimer honor Bon leiri this is second shot at number one
See that sloping Fairway and it’s just right so much different when they slope the opposite way the dog leg what a beauty some o at 17 well I think if you’d have offered him four and a par after his opening five holes he’d have snap your hand off
But he might have been a little disappointed at missing that birdy opportunity on the last Hall but it doesn’t appear to have affected him what a start Finn another really good swing he joins his captain Martin kimer on five under par Caleb Sarat sered Legion 13 this young
19-year-old who until very recently was at the University of Tennessee recruited by John RAM and that’s why he was recruited into the legion he’s two and far so far kid can play that gets Legion 13 into that second place tie well Abe aner had a run
Of six straight birdies in round two in jeda last week so he’s no stranger to a hot streak and he’s on another one here he’s running hot this is his second shot into nine aansa who teed off at six a little earlier on he made birdie there
Of course and he followed that up immediately with 30 at 10 the PA four the streak continued at 11 also a PA four and this to make it four in a row at 12 this is the path three and this streak for avaner has helped helped the Fireballs into second place on eight
Underp fall behind the streaking Clicks in the early stages L Heen at the 10 his second shot over the little drain that runs across the Fairway beautiful Henrik Stenson who started wonderfully well here on day one four and AP par his second shot into 11 oh that’s to tie the lead
Now then the green at six and I palter to get to three and a par with what would be a fourth consecutive birdie that’s the way to do it I halter on a tear here in Hong Kong he is no stranger to Victory here he’s got it to
Three underp the Majestics are two back in the team competition we have a three-way tie at the top of the pylon on five under par well let’s send you back out onto the golf course and Brooks kepa’s second shot at 11 that was Brooks for birdie at 11
Bubba is third at the par five 13th long bunker shot oh just needed to catch a bit more of the flag stick Matt Jones for birdie at 18 a few minutes ago and this would get him to four under par which is one back of our Trio of leaders still going still going
And in it drops his he’s playing aggressively the driver yeah yeah didn’t think he’d be hitting this many drivers on this golf course but good to see this what the crowd came out to see and he’s going to go over those big gum trees on the right
Hit it with a slight draw and uh he could get this within 60 yards of the green there you go oh that’s going to be right up the middle if it has a big bounce yeah it takes a huge bounce and runs about 50 or 60
Yards 55 yds from the front edge of the Gren what yep 55 and’ll be first to putt yes he will oh beautifully struck confidently knocked in there Muno 17 oh lovely little kick and David pu who has consecutive top 15 finishes the man who was picked
Up by a free agent from torque by Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs that was his third at three and Davi gets it back to level par where the Fireballs are 10 under an inner tie for second oh well he didn’t walk it in but there was a great effort from Kevin now
Coming out of the Fairway on 14 huge advantage in terms of controlling the ball just a lob wedge I think he’s enjoying it out there Thomas Peters second shot at six range goes lagging behind down in 11th place and this drops Brandon Grace just a few moments ago his second shot at 16
Anthony Kim for birdie at four once again as we saw in jeda last week rolls that one in beautifully a rough start but then a good recovery and palter going at the 11th green yeah another beautiful shot rolls that one in Louie for birdie at 15 to get to within one of the
Leaders this is going to be some weekend in Hong Kong Charles how short iron in number 11 four under one back one of the 23 players Arlo was saying for birdie at 11 for a tie of the lead how many have we got tied now at five under 1 2 3 4 5
Six seven players tied at five under par Dean bur of s Stinger GC the South Africans he has joined the party on five underp par this is for Eagle at 13 on the 16th this is prob already he’s playing really well now this is a left to right
Putt and then there were nine on five under hands up if you’re not five under par here at the Hong Kong Golf Club this is Sebastian Munoz he’s one of the many on five under so is Paul Casey this was at three 11 of them now five under par Matt
Jones is five at the par this is for birdie at five make it a dozen 12 players tied for the lead I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this Dean bur his second shot of 14 sting up starting very well indeed as they did in jeda last weekend tied for
Second on 12 under and that’s excellent from Dean now until now it’s going to happen surely Dean bear m this is at 14 for birdie and he’s top of the tree six underpar this is an uphill P John Ram is tied with Dean ber on six
Under Louie for birdie at 17 this is a few moments ago to get it to six underpar and then there were three bur us it a pair of stingers and John Rob all six underpar Charles Hal II this is great news for The Crushers and he’s joined the party at six underpar why
Not here’s cam at 16 shot Beau shot Lou tasing he had to punch out but this is his third shot back to cam Smith at 16 D yeah very good chance putting from the correct side it’s about as straight as part he’s going to get on this
Screen and there’s still a little bit of movement but uh you know he’s starting to find his game certainly this back nine driving the ball very nicely he’s hitting his iron shot apart from the last one with his Adine his wedges seem to be very much on point with the distance
Control y CS In Contention make no mistake and he gets it to four under three back of our leader on day one Dean burm Martin kimer over at the sixth all right they got Marty kimer back to five under par Wen neon ohen he was holding the
Pose and that’s why a beautiful shot and got him to four under bar everything he touches it seems at the moment turns to Gold anaband here he said two fine shots into this 13th make at three that’s an eagle Matt Jones has uh missed the eighth green to the right this was his
Second shot he didn’t he did mat Jones gets it to six under first round of 64 for Matt Jones Harold Varner at 15 oh yeah he’s six under bar Abraham answerer has this one to end his day tied for the lead had a good putt very
Nice D shampoo sizing up his chance at par first to putt you know it’s the wind switched in the middle of the round and it’s a heavy win David I mean for instance 15 if there was no win Bryson would have blown it over there
Yes yeah I I halfway expected him to hit driver there but uh yeah and he ended up hitting the nine he had over 200 yards to the yeah yeah oh yeah at 18 and it’s a first round for an inform Bry and Des Shambo of 65 five
Under par both he and his team are in magnificent form at the moment
