With a bogey and two birdies on next nine holes, he had taken a strokes lead over Kyle Stanley, Marc Leishman, Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm. Dustin who has won four events this year including WGC Dell Technologies Match Play, WGC Mexico Championship, Genesis Open and last week’s Northern Trust, which still keeps him 101.22 points ahead of Jordan Spieth, ranked second on the OWGR.
Garcia, who has pledged to support recent Texas Flood relief with his eagles and birdies scored four under par for the day, which included six birdies. A total of $12,000 is assured for the people in need from just his first round and we hope he plays extremely well for the rest three rounds and encashes more amount for the relief.
For a T-6th position, we have six contenders including Kevin Na, Luke List, Brian Harman, Jason Dufner, Jonas Blixt and Grayson Murray. Jonas Blixt who last won Zurich Classic Playoff with his partner Cameron Smith by defeating the team of Kisner and Brown. Rickie Fowler and Mickelson are at two under par for a T-12th position on the board both making three birdies and a bogey on the way to finish their round one.
Indian pride Anirban Lahiri finished his Round with one over par consisting four bogeys and three birdies, putting him for a T-42nd finish for Day1. His best finish for the season has come at the Memorial in June this year finishing for a T-2nd, making him currently ranked 66th on the FedEx Cup rankings.
