Australian golfers Karl Vilips and Cameron Davis shot 66 and 68 respectively in the opening round of the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico.
Karl Vilips and Cameron Davis have made strong starts at the World Wide Technology Championship, a PGA event in Mexico. Vilips shot a six-under-par 66 and Davis a four-under 68 in the opening round on Thursday, putting them within striking distance of the leader.
American Chris Kirk leads after a blemish-free nine-under 63 at El Cardonal at Diamante, a course designed by Tiger Woods. Kirk is one shot ahead of fellow Americans Nick Dunlap and Zac Blair. Kirk said of his approach: 'Just go day by day, shot by shot. The only thing that I have somewhat of control over is how I approach each day and how I look at each shot.'
Kirk was nearly flawless throughout his round, hitting the fairways consistently and missing only one green. His worst swing came on the 156-yard 16th, which he described as a 'little bit of a chunk pull', yet he still holed a 70-foot putt for an unlikely birdie. Kirk is at number 110 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings with three tournaments remaining to finish in the top 100 and keep a full card for 2027.
