Beijing time on July 15th, the first round of the 150th British Open ended at the St. Andrews Old Course. Chinese-American player Wu Biyuan shot a good 71 and was temporarily tied for 35th place.
This is Wu Biyuan’s third visit to St. Andrews and his second time participating in the British Open. The third group set out today. He got up at 4 a.m. and surprised the Chinese fans early in the morning. He caught 3 in the first ten holes. With only one birdie, he once appeared at the top of the list. Although he suffered bogeys on the 13th and 14th holes, he shot 71, 1 under par, and got off to a good start.
"I think the first round was pretty good. I hit the first nine very well. The wind was a little lighter today, so I could hit a little closer on the second shot. The first nine putts were very good," Wu Biyuan said. Nine is a little more difficult, because the wind is blowing from the right, which is a bit tailwind. The ball cannot stop on the green and . If the ball bounces on the green, it will be carried away by the wind for 30 or 40 yards. First. The first bogey was due to a missed short putt, and the second bogey was too long on the second shot. It was difficult to deal with that place, and there was a three-putt. "
Wu Biyuan knew that he was at the top of the list when he transitioned. He also knew that the back nine was more difficult, so he could still deal with it with a calm mind. He estimated that the wind direction tomorrow would be similar to today, only slightly stronger, so his strategy would not change significantly.
