On March 24, Beijing time, the first round of the World Championships - Dell Technology Competition Group Match ended. 64 players played 32 1-on-1 PK.
The battle has only just begun. For the next two days they will continue to play two 1v1 matches. On the fourth and fifth day of the tournament, the 16 players who "qualified" from the group will play a single-game knockout match (quarterfinals - final four - the third place- the championship) until the final winner is decided.
(Dell Technologies First Round Highlights)
There were 30 winners in the first round and 4 players were tied.
Ranked 18th in the world, Joaquin Nieman, who is the 14th seed, lost. The biggest win on the first day of the tournament, the No. 64 player, Marfryk McNeely, won an overwhelming victory to win 8 holes and remain 6 holes.
The single-round record was set by Tiger Woods, who also defeated Stephen Emerson in 2006 with 9 holes and 8 holes remaining.
(Spieth is in good shape)
Scoring of the top 16 seeded players of the match:
World No. 1 Ram scored successfully; Colin Morikawa (2), Victor Hoveland (3), Scotty Schaeffler (5), Zander Sheophile (7), DJ (8), Jordan Spieth (11), defending champion Billy Hoschel (12), Tyrell Hatton (13), Anser (15), Koepka (16) took the lead.
Patrick Cantley (4) and Deschampeau (9) ended with a draw of 0.5 points.
JT (6), Louis Urschuren (10), Nemann lost. JT lost 3 holes to Luke Liszt (46) and Urschurne lost to Alex Noren (50), with Noren narrowly winning 1 hole.
The hole race was unusually intense
(First Round Ram Result)
Sebastian Mullos played very steadily, coming to par 12 and only one stroke behind Ram, but Ram took advantage of the bottom nine five chance holes, he caught birdies on both par five holes, and then took a birdie on par 12 and finished with a four-hole advantage.
Ram's results in the event are 11-5-3. He lost to eventual champion DJ in 2017 and to Scotty Schaeffler in the quarter-finals last year.
In the first group, the other player who scored points was Cameron Young, who beat "Chubby" Red.
(Morikawa's strong return)
Morikawa in the second group played a turnaround battle, and last year's debut of Morikawa was very unsuccessful, losing two of the three group matches and drawing one. Today he was in complete control of his opponents, leading two holes in the first four holes and never conceding the lead.
And now the veteran Garcia, who is also scoring one point in the second group. As a member of Austin Stadium, Garcia is all too familiar with the stadium. With this round of victory, Garcia raised his tournament scoring record to a staggering 29-22-1.
Tomorrow Morikawa will directly and strongly talk to Garcia, which makes people look forward to it!
(Schaeffler should not be underestimated)
Last year's runner-up Scottie Schaeffler won the "Hard Bones", with the 25-year-old beating hole master Ian Poulter. For the Daleby Hole, Schaeffler has a talent that surpasses ordinary people, and last year's debut was runner-up, and the young man who is feeling good has won two PGA Tour titles this season.
(DJ steadily recovers)
The former champion DJ was equalised by his opponents after taking the lead, but the 24-time PGA Tour champion was still superior and won three holes in a row on 14 to 16 holes. Dj this group has the same score as him, Max Homa.
De Chambre has been plagued by injuries lately, last time he played at the Farmers Insurance Open in January, when he drew with 49-year-old veteran Richard Brand.
(Brave fly!) ）
Spieth, the "Peter Pan" who has attracted much fan attention, played against Kiegan Bradley during the match. The first nine holes were fiercely contested, with both sides chasing each other, and Spieth swallowed a bogey on par 9 to give Bradley a one-hole lead after the transfer. But Spieth grabbed a bird on par 12 and tied the match.
On the 16th hole and the closing hole, Spieth scored two birds in quick succession, and the two-hole advantage won the first point.
Like Spieth, who scored a point in Group 11 was Adam Scott, the australian handsome guy who won against Justin Rose, but Rose gave the best goal in the first round. On par 17, Rose lost his first shot and the third shot went straight into the hole.
(Best goal in the first round: Rose's third 'one hole in the hole')
