At last month's American Express, Tom Hogg trailed the leader by two strokes to finish in second place alone, missing out on the title. The 32-year-old American has yet to win his first PGA Tour.

Hogg, who started nine at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in the first round, performed well, taking a separate lead with a net catch of nine birds and becoming the player with the most birds in the first round.
Among them, a birdie of about 13 yards was pushed on the edge of the green on Hole 8, which eventually locked him up in the lead. The goal was also voted the best goal of the round.

(Kantele T5)
Fortunately, he stabilized the state in time and caught 5 birds in the back nine nets. Par 17 of the par four holes was a thrilling one, with the ball driven two yards from the water, then he sent the ball up to the green in the pine bushes and completed a bird push of about 4 yards. In the end, with 8 birds and 2 bogeys, 65 (-6) ranked in the T5.
