A large number of top rankers were absent from this tournament. Since the venue is not the United States and the Wells Fargo Championship, with a total prize of 20 million dollars, will be held in North Carolina, the United States next week, many of the world’s top players were absent.

Among the famous PGA players, defending champion and this year’s Masters winner, Jon Rahm (Spain), and last year’s runner-up Tony Finau (USA) competed.

On the first day, Ram exchanged 6 birdies and 2 bogeys and finished in a tie for 14th with a 4 under par 67, and Pinau tied for 4th with a 6 under par 65, revealing a green light for the championship.

On this day, Austin Smotherman of the U.S. shot an 8-under-par 63 without a bogey and took the top spot on the leaderboard. Tano Goya (Argentina) and Eric Van Luyen (South Africa) tied for second place with a 7-under 64.
