taking a look at some of the early
highlights Garrett hio guy who W before
on the PGA two are off to a fast start
really aggressive shot into nine to give
him the uphill look beautiful about that
going out five under his front nine
defending champ ni aevia once again
playing while comfortable on the greens
comfortable in the wind it’s a great
course fit for
him rolling it nicely a birdie on 12 and
the very next toll really good shot in
13 difficult t-shot really tricky
crosswind second
again in the right position a Chia
surging to the top of the leaderboard at
that point at 5 under par higo to get
back there at 15 with his length he’s
got to take advantage of these par fives
and he’s certainly doing it today now in
his first season here on the PGA tour
for the outright lead putting up the
hill and then it goes down grain at the
end 6 under out through 10 Springer
feeling it
today end up here so this just just a
moment ago as
third and just 87 yds has a pretty good
line comes out very low back into the
breeze here how good is
that that is especially good there
Johnson coming off that check out this
t- shot with our trackman Tracer
technology T up on the left side of the
box with that front left pin trying to
draw it into that
wind scoots on up there tight
good to see Aaron Wise back on the PGA
tour his first start since the 2023 US
Open you know trying for back toback
birdies and start moving the right
direction yeah that’s it and it it what
it’ll do should move just a touch to his
left kind of like
that
beauty what are we seeing here trip
well he sees it going to the right he
had sang Moon Bay move his P coin and
knows how to read him another 6 under
round posted there and that’s Aon wise
at
17 117 yards straight back down wind
good line
here he sure turned it on here these
last few
holes birdie put on the way for
Burger
that went in with some Pace too I like
that putting up the hill aggressive hit
the back of the cup H and also a lot of
unsure I mean you’ve been playing around
uh with with your group back at your
home Club feel like you’re playing well
but once you get in that first round on
the PGA tour on Thursday when the bell
goes off there is certainly a lot of
nerves to consider in tomorrow Ben
Griffin on 16 back of the green here’s a
guy who’s had a couple chances to win in
his rookie year looking to get back in
the
hunt good trips that one in and move to
one
under really had a good chance there at
the Sanderson Farms just couldn’t get it
up and down on 18 and got into that big
playoff that was ultimately won by Luke
list hoard sitting pretty at
17 love the mechanics of both Rasmus and
nikolai’s golf swings love that shot too
that’s
pretty four time winner on the PGA tour
yeah to earning FedEx Cup points this
year but in good position so
[Music]
far ninth hole on that right hand side
and
piery taking dead aend I looked at that
whole location this morning George and I
thought I didn’t think we’d see this
many guys going at it with a right to
left win just amazing the control these
guys have finding the Fairway with his
first t- shot of the round this coming
on the 10th land down downwind out of
his left back hole location sitting up
on top of the little
Ridge that’s beautifully done great
distance control on your first ever
title defense piery for the low round so
far
today seven under
65 fourth for Springer at
14 oh my the difficulty here scale of
one to 10 how about
15 oh my does that look good Johnson
what a
triet looked like he landed at he looked
like he landed at the rough to kill the
speed Rasmus
hoard see if he could sign for 67
four-time winner on the DP World Tour
he’s got all the
skills 18th green Linsky played his
third to
here this for birdie little
foreshadowing what a roll rinsky with
the 5 under 67 East T5
was saying that he rededicated himself
to working out was trying to avoid some
of the injuries that he had had over the
past few years has made Fitness a big
part of his 2024
McIntyre there we
go up on the 18th Eric Barnes the
36-year-old who lives in Birmingham
Alabama just a hair left to right break
really
makeable solid start with that 6 under
66 after a quality second shot really
quality second shot putting back up the
hill Birdie’s stealing one on the 14 saw
to
even of false away from the
player just got to keep your speed up on
these Billy Ray once they lose their
speed on pass palum they tend to do
funny
things that was beautiful nice roll V
now one under
yeah that was with
confidence I left in the
bag I think he is a little bit
underachieved because I like his game
don’t take anything away he is a good
player and then he does
that yeah thank through their first
round morning wave all in the house
seven under 65 you thought no way anyone
gets past eight so it seems like that’s
going to hold up with how tough
conditions have been in the afternoon
but we will play the waiting game
Johnson and we’ll see as we’re diving
into this leaderboard Matty Schmidt 4
under through eight and Roger slan
turning into that front side he’s got 18
still to play and and couple par FS on
the front that are playing easy he’s got
a shot to get to that eight under number
your big takeaway from what we’ve seen
in this opening round uh Golf Course is
a little bit softer than we’ve seen it
in the years’s past and guys are out
there tearing it up it’s going to be
another low cut uh if you want to have a
chance you need to be in the 60s every
day
