Anthony Kim and Sergio Garcia get brutal reality check away from LIV Golf riches
Both Sergio Garcia and Anthony Kim endured tough starts at the International Series event in Macau, after the LIV Golf duo turned their attentions away from the breakaway league to the Asian Tour.
Garcia and Kim are two of a number of LIV stars who have opted to head to Macau this week, but failed to make an impression in round one. Garcia, who is playing in his first Official World Golf Ranking-sanctioned event outside of the majors in over the year, kicked off his week with a disappointing two-over-par 72.
The former Masters champion made three birdies across his opening 18 holes, but these were cancelled out by five bogeys, to leave him well off the pace and in a tie for 124th.
