Wesley Bryan takes early lead with stellar performance at Puntacana Championship

Posted : 19 April 2024

In the opening round of the Puntacana Championship, Wesley Bryan surged ahead with an impressive nine-under 63, securing a three-stroke lead at the Corales course in the Dominican Republic. Bryan's standout moment came with an eagle chip-in on the par-5 fourth hole, propelling him to the top of the leaderboard despite a lone bogey on the 14th. He capped off his stellar performance with back-to-back birdies on his final two holes, cementing his position as the frontrunner.

 

Reflecting on his strong start, Bryan expressed satisfaction with his performance, particularly highlighting his solid ball-striking leading up to the tournament. The Puntacana Championship holds special significance for Bryan, as it runs concurrently with the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, where he clinched his sole PGA Tour victory in 2017. The golfer's early success in the tournament underscores his potential to contend for another title.

 

Joining Bryan in the chase is Charlie Hoffman, a four-time PGA Tour winner, who finished the round three shots behind the leader with a commendable six-under 66. Hoffman emphasized the importance of accuracy on the course, especially with approach shots, and credited his clean scorecard to solid putting and strategic play. His strong finish, marked by birdies on the final three holes, positions him as a formidable contender heading into the subsequent rounds.

 

However, not all players enjoyed a smooth start, as Denmark's Nicolai Hojgaard encountered challenges during his round, carding a one-over 73. Hojgaard, who recently contended at the Masters before faltering with a series of bogeys, struggled with six bogeys on the day. Despite the setback, Hojgaard remains in contention, showcasing the unpredictable nature of tournament play and the resilience required to bounce back from setbacks on the golf course.
