Blanchet leads Bermuda Championship after opening 62

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 00:02 · Archive

Chandler Blanchet shot a 9-under 62 to take a one-shot lead at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Chandler Blanchet shot a 9-under 62 to lead the Butterfield Bermuda Championship after the first round at Port Royal. He made two eagles and six birdies, with his only dropped shot coming on the par-4 fourth hole. One eagle came on the par-5 seventh from 5 feet; the other on the 17th from just outside 50 feet. He led by one shot over Ben Kohles, Corey Conners, Danny Walker and Ben Silverman.

Blanchet said the improving conditions helped his round. 'The wind was kind of calming down, so it was pretty favorable,' he said of his eagle on the seventh. On his 50-foot putt on the 17th, he said it 'just dripped in on the last revolution'.

The tournament is significant for Blanchet's standing in the FedEx Cup Fall, where points determine which players keep full status for 2027. Bermuda is one of five remaining tournaments in the season, with the top 100 finishers maintaining their tour status.
