After the first round at TPC Sawgrass there was a wide range of scores in the LMS competition ranging between -14 and +15. Chad Ramey took a surprise lead after carding a brilliant -8, he was 2000/1 before the start of the tournament so it’ll be interesting to see if he can keep it up.
There were 3 withdrawals/non-starters before teeing off to which luckily all participants with Daniel Berger, Erik Van Rooyen and Cameron Champ had clicked the withdrawal replacement (WR) option. Therefore all entrants with the 3 golfers mentioned will roll onto the next golfer on our list.
Daniel Berger —> Russell Henley
Erik Van Rooyen —> Dylan Fritelli
Cameron Champ —> Brendan Todd
As a result, the prize pot remains as previously announced at £4,800 which will be split as follows:
1st – £3,600
2nd – £950
3rd – £250
