Avondale: Sahith Theegala and Aaron Rai, close friends with Indian roots, began their campaign at the Zurich Classic in Avondale, Louisiana with a steady but modest performance. Competing in the PGA Tour’s only official team event, the pair combined effectively to post a 10-under-par score in the opening round, which was played in the four-ball (best ball) format.
While their start was solid, it left them tied for 13th place, some distance behind the leaders.
Both players had moments of brilliance during the round, each contributing an eagle. Rai delivered a standout shot on the par-4 13th hole, spinning in an approach from 106 yards for an impressive eagle. Earlier in the round, Theegala showcased his own skill by eagling the par-5 second hole, helping the duo build early momentum. IANS
