Paul Dunn
On November 1, Beijing time, it was reported that Paul Dunn, a famous Irish player, played a 64 shot (-7) without bogey at Regnum Carya Golf&Spa Resort today, leading the first round of the European Tour Rolex Series Türkiye Open with a total bonus of $7 million by one shot, while Li Haotong and Wu Ashun, both Chinese heroes, performed well, ranking fifth with 66 shots.
Dunn, ranked 105th in the world, captured 7 birds and did not eat any bogeys, taking the top spot on the performance chart with a score of 64. Dunn, who has not been able to make it to the top ten since the Volvo China Open, is delighted to return to the top of the results table and challenge for his second European tour championship in his professional career. "I'm just not very good at hitting the ball up close. My putt is okay, and my kickoff is a bit similar, but my iron has lost some feeling. In the past three months, I've been trying my best to save Pa. I'm glad to see that I've regained some form, delivered a good result, and scored zero bogeys on the scorecard."
Ireland's renowned player Harrington, who is expected to become the new captain of the Ryder Cup European team, has yet to mature, delivering 65 strokes (-6), tied for second place with defending champions Justin Ross and Danish handsome Tobijo Olison, who won the 2016 tournament championship. If Ross continues to win, he will return to the world number one throne. In his past 30 global competitions, he has ranked in the top ten 23 times.
Wu Ashun, who held his wedding in Shanghai on Monday this week, received 6 birds and only swallowed the only bogey on the 10th hole, hitting a score of 66 (-5). Li Haotong, the first brother of China who set off from behind, made a good start with a bird in Cave 1. Although he ate Baiji in Cave 2, he immediately caught two birds in both Cave 3 and Cave 4, and then picked them up in Cave 9. After the transition, Li Haotong beautifully shot the Hawk on the 12th hole and won a birdie on the 15th hole, briefly reaching second place. Unfortunately, he swallowed a bogey on the 16th hole and also made 66 shots, tying with former world number one players such as Lee Westwood and Martin Kemmel in fifth place.
