On level par now back to cam Smith winds just died a little bit he’s got to challenge the bunker to this pin there is a little back stop although being downwind don’t think he’s going to get spin off of that so maybe release a little bit it should

Stop the ball worried about you know oh that’s not good you know that’ll avoid the embarrassment of cutting Adrien morok quick one here for bird two greens rolling 112 on the Edward sson meter today Ucho chakara the big high flop shot at 18 that’s his [Applause] Third nean with his second at the ninth the wind has now changed 90° no D wind at the last is to tie the lead yes beautifully judged by won nean a man in form our Victory Mexico to start the season and he’s tied for the lead in

Tiny little back swing and follow through and just stuffs it a 14 green Carlos Ortiz for birdie trade up the little subtle Slope and he’s now three back John ROM for birdie at 13 trimming down a bit buckets it is working John Rah look out the legion 13 Captain is four underpar he’s two back of our leader wo Neeman the Australian lookus Herbert that’s his third shot over at six my Beauty come on and he’s a good horse as it’s beautiful from Phil Charles schwarzel yet another birdie for the South African of stinger GC this is at the first Hole Lucas Herbert he’s having a fabulous day so far as he continues to climb the pylon this for birdie at seven to get it to five under par that’s a delightful putt from Lucas Herbert janiro Kazuma playing his second shot this hole number five oh good shot yeah good shot

Indeed Char Schwarz will just keeps motoring here in jeda this for birdie at two a par four and Charles schwarzel is back to 2022 form and he’s seven under par through his opening 13 holes today cam Smith is second to 12 it’s a great shot from the desert

Well the Cs are in a tie for third place in the team competition they made the podium here uh in October the first time they did so and they’re looking for a repeat here C Samoa his second shot into the 17th samoya not counting at the moment on one

13 Captain is five under par Adrian Moran meanwhile with a second shot at 10 an eagle for Adrian Moran and he’s tied for the lead can go so Dam you said there was clear behind the wall but there was something under it no not under it there

Was a fairly sizable Rock about 2 three in in front of the ball and he tried to move it it was embedded so it was just too dangerous a shot it could have hit the rock on the follow through the club would certainly have hit it the ball

Could have hit it too so I think this is the right play really yeah actually I really do J I mean it was literally two Ines in front of the ball I think he’s got a good chance to make a three from here oh oh yes that was definitely the right

Decision Phil knows best you should buy a lottery ticket Dom I’ve bought plenty yeah Bryson on the ti at 16 o that is a grave shot at 11 co-leader Adrien Moran from Poland only 26 golf courses in the entire country and the DP World Player of the Year another beautiful shot from him now then Adrian has an opportunity here to take the lead this for birdie at

11 the cleaks man teed off at 15 and he’s eight under par what a round he is putting together Taylor G he second at 18 shoty hit in the playoff had such a good chance of being close ended up going in the water on a similar line

Beautiful swing there that is such a dangerous shot after a fantastic second shot gu for Eagle at 18 and as you might expect kns that right in Louis tasan climbing the pylon once again this for birdie at two and he rolls that one in superbly and Lou five under bar here is Phil watch this spin oh take that Phil with a tap in it one that’s excellent stuff and with a double bogey yeah

Terell Hatton for Eagle at four to end his day spectacularly which he does and sirell five under par that’s an opening round of 65 Adrien a few moments ago at 14 this was for a 61 oh are you kidding B actually just rolled a dimple or two backwards at the

End oh yes absolutely Sensational from John Ram it’s an opening round of 62 for the legion 13 captain and that is a share of the lead here in jedha
