The Japanese Ryo Hisatsune takes the lead after this first round. Leading at -8, the 20-year-old had a total of 9 birdies and a bogey, counting 6 birdies in a row from hole 1 to hole 6: “It was so unreal. I was just hitting shots, making putts. It was so amazing. It’s the first time I’ve made six birdies in a row. It’s my first event of the year and I was a little nervous at the start, but I was very lucky. On the last nine holes, there are difficult holes. I had to keep making shots, making pars. On the last hole, I was very nervous, but I only made a bogey, so that’s good for me. »
