Bae Sang-moon tees off on the first day of the Puerto Rico Open.

Bae Sang-moon and Noh Seung-yeol, who participated in a PGA Tour event for the first time this year, laid the foundation for a top ranking.

Bae Sang-moon and Noh Seung-yeol both shot 4 under par 68 in the first round of the Puerto Rico Open (total prize money of $4 million) held at the Grand Reserve Golf Club (par 72) in Puerto Rico on the 8th (Korean time). 스포츠 토토사이트

The two, who tied for 17th place, can also look forward to a top ranking.

It is 3 strokes behind the joint leader group who shot 7 under par 65 strokes.

Bae Sang-moon and Noh Seung-yeol have lost their PGA Tour cards, making it a rare opportunity to participate in a PGA Tour event.

This is the first PGA Tour event for both of them this year.

Noh Seung-yeol participated in four tournaments in the Korn Ferry Tour, but Bae Sang-moon did not have a chance to compete in the Korn Ferry Tour.

The Puerto Rico Open is a so-called 'alternative tournament' prepared for players who cannot participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a specially designated tournament held during the same period.

Players in the top 100 in the world rankings or FedEx Cup rankings did not participate in the Puerto Rico Open, so Bae Sang-moon and Noh Seung-yeol also had the opportunity to participate.

Bae Sang-moon had one double bogey and one bogey, but he made seven birdies.

He made birdies in all four par 5 holes, and his shots were accurate enough to add two birdies in the par 3 holes.

Noh Seung-yeol had five birdies and one bogey.Although he missed the green 8 times, his short game and putting were excellent, ensuring par 7 times, including 2 bunkers.

Noh Seung-yeol's iron shot.

Like Bae Sang-moon and Noh Seung-yeol, Kang Seong-hoon, who was playing in his first PGA Tour tournament this year, reduced his score by two strokes until the 17th hole, sparking a firestorm to enter the top rankings.

Seong-Hoon Kang was unable to finish the 18th hole because the match was postponed due to bad weather.

Scott Piercey and Joe Highsmith (USA) were tied for the lead, while Garrick Higo (South Africa), Eric Barnes, and Bryce Garnett (USA) were tied for 3rd place with 6 under par 66, one stroke behind.

The competition was suspended for nearly two hours due to bad weather and eventually postponed to the next day. 슬롯
