2023-04-21 07:00:00

If there is something that has characterized this first day of fourballs in it Zurich Classic of New Orleans have been the low numbers. And it is that, with the exception of the duo formed by John Daly y David Duval (75 hits, +3), all have managed to place themselves with figures abovebelow par of the field. Although there have been two teams that have skyrocketed in the rankings as a result of a few hours of golf very wise on the grass of TPC Louisiana.

It’s about the Americans Wyndham Clark y Beau Hossler (61 strokes, -11) and Sean O’Hair y Brandon Matthews (61 strokes, -11), who have been able to get profit from their first hours on the field with a card on which the birdies they were at skin flower. Both duos got along perfectly from the first moments and managed to make a gap at the top of the classification after presenting cards in which the failures just they had room -there was always a member of the couple at stake- and the birdies they entered fully.

After them, the Europeans begin to emerge thanks to the help of Matt y Alex Fitzpatrick (62 strokes, -10), who have carved a niche for themselves in the podium of the championship after sealing with birdies diez of the eighteen holes played. A great round in which the two members hit equally and which allows them to equalize forces with other international couples such as those formed by Keith Mitchell y Sunjae Im, David Lipsky y Aaron Rai, Henrik Norlander y Luke List or the one that make up Michael Kim y SY No to practically sentence his pass to the weekend.
