The duel between two of the heavyweights of the circuit is served in the first high tournament of the season, since the third place, Thomas Detry, has 197 overall, compared to the 198 of Sungjae Im and the 199 of Harry Hall, the young Englishman who is on a magnificent streak of results and who may have to be taken into account for the Ryder Cup. He will have his chances of victory, of course, although he has two of the best in front of him.

Regarding the first two classifieds, they played in an almost millimetric way. Morikawa once again demonstrated his mastery with the irons. He started at five under par after five holes played, including an eagle on the 5th in which he made a putt from seven and a half meters. Matsuyama chased him on the next hole and they were very even the rest of the day.

The tournament record is held by Cameron Smith, in 2002, when he scored 34 under par and a total of 258 strokes. In fact, the Australian’s duel was with Jon Rahm; They arrived five strokes ahead, tied for the lead, and both broke scoring records, with Smith taking the lead.
