On the first day of the Texas Open, American player Sam Ryder shot a 63, nine strokes under par, taking the lead with a solo performance. He made nine birdies during the round and did not encounter any bogeys. Keith Mitchell followed closely with a score of 64, ranking second. Former British Open champion Brian Harman posted a 66, placing third. Additionally, Carlson Young and Jordan Spieth both tied for fourth with a score of 67. Swedish golf king Ludvig Åberg and Japanese player Hideki Matsuyama had relatively weaker performances, ranking 43rd and 90th, respectively. Defending champion Akshay Bhatia opened with a score of 74, ranking 103rd, and will need to improve his performance to make the cut for the weekend finals.
The final ticket battle to the Augusta National Golf Club begins at the Texas Open, with the first round taking place on April 3 at Oak Tree Golf Club in San Antonio. American player Sam Ryder momentarily leads with an outstanding performance of sixty-three strokes, nine under par, on Thursday. Ryder put in a remarkable effort in pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory, starting strong with back-to-back birdies and adding another birdie on the eighth hole. After the turn, he showcased a stunning performance of three consecutive birdies from the twelfth to the fourteenth hole and then again from the sixteenth to the eighteenth hole, ultimately carding nine birdies and no bogeys for a score of sixty-three, occupying the top spot on the leaderboard for eighteen holes. Of his last twelve holes, he had eleven one-putts and made seven birdies. Ryder stated, "I just focused on my swings, which helped me manage the rhythm today. I'm very happy to be participating in this event." He noted that he saw another player shoot a sixty-four at the start and mentioned that scores under par are quite good, saying, "I just want to take it one step at a time and put in a solid performance, hitting the fairways and as many greens as possible."
American player Keith Mitchell also made his mark that day, recording an eagle and six birdies for a score of sixty-four, eight under par, placing second. Former British Open champion Brian Harman finished third with a score of sixty-six, featuring seven birdies and one bogey. American duo Carson Young and Jordan Spieth both made six birdies and one bogey, tied for fourth with scores of sixty-seven, five under par. There are six players tied for sixth, including British star Tommy Fleetwood with five birdies and one bogey, along with South Africa's Dylan Frittelli, America's Stephen Fisk, Maverick McNealy, Andrew Novak, and amateur player Ben James, all achieving scores of four under par.
Additionally, Swedish golf king Ludwig Åberg, one of the top ten players, shot a score of seventy-one, one under par, tied for forty-third. Japan's "number one" Hideki Matsuyama carded a score of seventy-three, tying for ninetieth. Last year's playoff champion Akshay Bhatia shot a seventy-four in the first round, currently tied for one hundred third place. If he cannot perform well tomorrow, it will be difficult for him to advance to the weekend finals.
