BRG Open Golf Championship 2022: Thai golfer takes the lead after round 1 08:00, 01/09/2022

Just like what the Director of the tournament - Chokchai Boonprasert confirmed at the press conference about the challenge of Nicklaus Course of BRG Danang Golf Resort, on the first day of competition, 115 golfers had the opportunity challenge their ability to play in extremely tricky places where the flags are planted close to the edge of the green and only 15 players scored negative strokes after 18 holes. And Thai golfer Tawit Polthai is a golfer with the most excellent performance.

Tawit Polthai had a very favorable start when he scored 2 consecutive birdies in the first 2 holes, then he continued to get 4 birdies from hole 10-14 to take the lead with a total score of -5 strokes. On the 17th hole, although he had a mistake that caused the ball to fall into the water, it cost him a bogey, but that wasn't enough to make him lose his top spot on the leaderboard.

Perhaps for Polthai, this is a very positive signal because in this season, the golfer ranked 1376 on the OWGR once finished 3rd at Laguna Phuket Cup in May and T10 at Indo Masters Golf Invitational Presented TNE at the end of June.

Meanwhile, the brightest candidate for the championship, Chen Guxin, was tied for second place with 5 other golfers with a record of -3 strokes. However, Guxin's round was more prominent as he scored 4 birdies and only suffered a single bogey. Currently, Guxin is the 2nd golfer on this year's ADT money earned ranking.

For Vietnamese golfers, the best performance on the first day of competition belonged to Truong Chi Quan ranked Top 8 with -2 strokes. After 18 holes of golf, he scored 3 birdies and 1 bogey.

The second best result of the Vietnamese representatives belongs to young golfer Doan Uy with a total score of +1 and temporarily ranked T21. The No.1 amateur golfer in Vietnam, Nguyen Anh Minh had an unfavorable start when the total score was +11 and ranked T89.

Tomorrow, the second round of the BRG Open Golf Championship promises to continue to be more dramatic when only 50 golfers with the best performance or a tie will win the spot to compete in the final round.

Vietnamese golfers in the Top 50 after 18 holes include Truong Chi Quan, Doan Uy, Do Hong Giang (+2), Nguyen Thanh Hai (+3), Nguyen Nhat Long (+3) and Do Quang Khanh (+4).
