Poulter Takes Round One at Firestone, Woods and Mickelson to Play
Exhibition 1 on 1 Thanksgiving Weekend, Wie Leads Round One of Women’s British
Open and Alexander Zverev Beats Brother Mischa at Washington Open
English golfer Ian Poulter led round one of the
Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone yesterday, finishing with 8 under par,
according to PGATour.com. Rickie Fowler is right behind Poulter with 7 under par and
pre-tournament favourite Dustin Johnson, who recently won the Canadian Open,
finished the day with just 1 under par. Tiger Woods scored his best opening
round of the year so far, with 4 under par. The AP quotes
Woods on his performance:
“If you would
have offered me this at the start of the day, I would have snapped your arm for
it,” he said. “Yeah, we can be greedy and say I’d love to have holed that putt
on 8 to have tied the record. But 8 under par’s a pretty decent round for me
around this golf course.”
Woods and Phil
Mickelson look to be having their head-to-head televised exhibition match on
Thanksgiving weekend, according to CNN. Mickelson
confirmed the rough date for the $10 million match at the Bridgestone Invitational
yesterday.
"As we firm up more and
more details we'll let everybody know, but right now we know it's going to be
Thanksgiving weekend for sure,” he said.
LPGA.com reports that American Michelle
Wie finished in the lead with 8 under par at the Women’s British Open first
round yesterday. Just trailing Wie in round one was South Korean In-Kyung Kim
with 7 under par and American Lindy Duncan with 6 under par.
“I had a lot
of fun out there today. The views were just so spectacular here, you kind of
get lost in the view sometimes,” Wie said about the morning’s idyllic
conditions. “I’m really proud of myself how I took advantage of conditions this
morning.”
German
Alexander Zverev beat his brother Mischa 6-3, 7-5 at the Washington Open
yesterday to advance to the quarter-finals. The Associated Press quotes Mischa
on losing to his younger sibling:
“A lot of
different feelings. First of all, happiness; I was proud. When we were at the
coin toss and then took the picture and I walked back to the baseline, I had
to, like, a little bit fight my tears, because I felt like, ’It just finally
came true,’” said Mischa, who turns 31 in a few weeks, while Alexander is 21.
“Because we’ve been playing against each other in the backyard in our
mini-tennis court and imagining that we would play against each other, like, in
a Grand Slam final.”
