The golfers of PGA Tour they are engaged in one of the rare weeks of the calendar that offers a dual event. If the RBC Heritage offers the big names in the Official World Ranking a new challenging terrain after the Augusta Masters, the Corales Puntcana Championship (prize money 4 million dollars) gives those disappointed in this first part of the season an opportunity to relaunch in view of the next events.
At the end of the first round he raises his voice Wesley Bryan. The American closes the first round with a super -9 (63 strokes) tarnished only by the bogey committed on the 14th hole. The twenty-four year old boasts a three-point margin over his compatriots Charley Hoffman, Justin Lower, Parker Coody, Chan Kim and Troy Merritt. Seventh place at -5 and top ten closed by the English Callum Tarren, the Canadian Taylor Pendrith, and finally by the Americans Adam Long, Billy Horschel, Pierceson Coody, Davis Thompson and Ben Martin.
On the par 72 course of the Corales Golf Club of Punta Cana (La Altagracia, Dominican Republic) encouraging debut for Francesco Molinari. The Turin native closed the first round in 47th position with a score of -2 after having scored 5 birdies and 3 bogeys. The Italian golfer is both in contact with the top ten and at risk of being cut given the narrowness of the leaderboard spots.
In the early Italian afternoon there will be room for the second round which will serve to skim off a very short ranking. Molinari will enter the scene at 6.21pm, while the leader Bryan will enter shortly before 1pm. So see you tomorrow morning with the report of the second round of the alternative event organized in collaboration between the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour.
