Gators Complete Day One of The Open - Florida Gators

nnnindonesia.blogspot.com
SANDWICH, England - After day one of The 149th Open Championship, Yuxin Lin leads all amateurs with a 1-under-par (69) performance on Thursday. 

The current Florida junior originally qualified to play in the 2020 Open after winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in 2019, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lin set the tone for his round with a birdie on the first hole and pars in back-to-back. He erased a bogey on the fourth and stayed on track, highlighted by a birdie on the eighth hole known as "Hades" which is the toughest on the course according to experts, to finish at 34 (-1) on the front nine. Three straight pars concluded his second round of 35 to sit at 69 (-1) tied for 32nd. 

Sam Horsfield was the first Gator to take Royal St. Georges in round one. He gained momentum in his inaugural debut at the British Open with a bogey-free front nine for a 2-under-par (33) start. The back nine tripped him up a bit and he pulled away finishing even (70) on the day.

Rounding out the UF trio was Billy Horschel, who also finished even (70) in his first round. He birdied three out of the last four on the front nine to finish with a score of 34 (-1). After seven consecutive pars to begin the back nine, a bogey on the 17th put him a tick over at 36 (+1). 

Round two is set for Friday with Horschel starting at 2:52 a.m. followed by Horsfield at 7:31 a.m. and Lin at 10:32 a.m.

Coverage begins tomorrow at 4 a.m. ET on the Golf Channel.
