Golf: Men’s Individual Strokeplay First Round
The Le Golf National course is well-known for hosting the 2018 Ryder Cup, where Europe secured a dominating win. Notable holes include those in the final stretch, which present challenges with potential water hazards to be navigated. Tomми Fleetwood of Great Britain fondly recalls his time there following Europe’s triumph and has had a successful season. Throughout much of Xander Schauffele’s tenure as Olympic champion, he was considered one of the top male golfers without a major title — until May and July, when he claimed victory at the US PGA and Open Championship.
