The youngster will emerge
Saif Tigara, who turned professional in 2020, entered the Korn Ferry Tour as a non-member in March last year and advanced to all of his first six matches. In the final two finals of the season, he qualified for the 2021-22 PGA TOUR with two top-ten finishes. It can be said that he is a new star who should not be underestimated.
(Tigara took a solo lead after pushing a birdie on No. 4)
Tigara, who started after the round of nine, grabbed 7 birds on 16 holes that had already been completed, without any mistakes, and led by a par -7 clubhouse.
(A young general with strength and determination)
Despite suffering from scoliosis, this does not shake Tigara's determination to become a great golfer. He once said that the reason he loves golf is that the sport tests the mind and perseverance. The newcomer is proving his resolve through practical actions.

in Spieth T44

His result for this round is 3 birds and 1 double bogey, 70 (-1), and T44.
