Hideki Matsuyama leads after day 1 at Le Golf National to kickoff the four day tournament. 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games gold medal winner Xander Schauffele is in second place.
After a couple of rain delays and 41 players under par, Hideki Matsuyama is the leader after day one at the Le Golf National. Matsuyama is seeking redemption after losing in a seven-man playoff for bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he was representing the host nation Japan. Matsuyama shot 8-under par on Thursday, with the hottest man in golf, Xander Schauffele, right on his tail.
Schauffele, who is fresh off a British Open win - his second major title of the year – shot a 65, 6-under-par. The 30-year-old American is looking to defend his Olympic gold medal after he won at the Tokyo Games. Schauffele’s round was interrupted by rain a couple of times. The round was suspended at 4:26 p.m. local time with 19 players on the course. Play resumed after a 39-minute pause, only to go back into a delay at 5:26 p.m.
