PGA Tour 2021 - American Express, La Quinta, California - Round One
Brandon Hagy, American professional golfer who will turn 30 next month, was not scheduled to play in the American Express Tournament. Then on Monday Jon Rahm withdrew. Hagy seized this opportunity and is giving it his best shot.
From PGA Tour site:
Hagy took the first-round lead Thursday with an 8-under 64 on the Nicklaus course, staying one shot ahead of South Korea's Byeong Hun An in the opening tournament of the PGA TOUR's West Coast Swing.
Hagy racked up 10 birdies, including three streaks of three in a row. He capped the round with a calm birdie putt on the 18th.
"I felt like I saw the greens really well, and the last couple of days, I felt like I was putting really well," Hagy said. "Once I started to read them well, I knew if I could just keep doing what I was doing, I'd have a good shot to do something."
Byeong Hun An made seven birdies without a bogey in his 65. Max Homa, Martin Laird and Si Woo Kim shot 66.
Hagy started with a bogey on the first hole of the Nicklaus course, but then the birdies came in bunches. He birdied six of the seven holes before the turn, and he added three more on the back nine after his second bogey.
