The teammates Patrick Reed and Harold Varner III shared the head 5 under 67 by bullet after the first round of Liv Golf Dallas Friday in Carrollton, Texas.
Jon Rahm, from Spain, was a blow behind and Abraham Ancer in Mexico two on the layout par-72 at the Maridoe Golf Club.
From the 10th hole, Reed made the turn at 1 sous, but then proceeded to an eagle on the 655 yards, par-5 second. He sorted out n ° 7 and 8 and recorded 32 on the first nine.
Varner feared his first nine, going around 4 sous, with birdies on the numbers 13, 15, 17 and 18. He continued to play clean golf, then sorted six and seven to reach 6 sous, but made a hit on the ninth hole to finish the tower.
Varner liked to play in the same group as his teammate GC 4Aces.
“Of course. I want to beat him, even if he is a teammate,” said Varner. “It is very fun. It became embarrassing when he bypassed the par-5 and I was made by.
Together, they raised a score of 9 on the day and a six -stroke advance on Crushers GC.
“I mean, I felt like I was behind him all day and really trying to eat him,” said Reed about his teammate. “Harold is playing solid golf course, hitting quality golf couples. It’s always nice when you see that because you can eat it.”
From the third hole, Rahm quickly arrived at 3 sous after having recorded an Eagle 2 in the sixth and supporting it with a birdie in the seventh. He built n ° 9 and 10, but recovered these errors with birdies at n ° 14 and 17 and closed with a birdie on the second hole.
The Ancer game was more erratic because it seven birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey on the third par-3, which was his last hole of the day.
“Yeah, very solid, very happy with the way I hit him from the tee,” said Ancer. “I think I only missed two fairways that led to two Bogeys. The rough is not a joke. But I love golf courses like that you have to be in the fairway. Certainly the way to finish the way I finished with a double bogey, of course. I felt like I just lost a little concentration on this par-3.”
