This event, the only one on the PGA Tour circuit held in Japanese territory, has changed its venue this year to the Yokohama Country Club, after having been organized near Tokyo since 2019, under the name Zozo Championship. A group of eight players are one stroke behind the leaders, including Australian Adam Scott. Another seven competitors are two strokes away. Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa, both members of the American team that suffered defeat in the Ryder Cup, finished the day with a score of 71 strokes (course par). For his part, the Colombian Nico Echavarria, current champion, completed the round with 70 strokes. Hideki Matsuyama, the Japanese golfer and 2021 Masters champion, recorded a score of 72 strokes in the first round.Greyserman, who last year was just one stroke away from victory, losing on the 72nd hole to Echavarria, highlighted the difficult course conditions due to the strong winds. The American golfer also expressed his respect for Echavarria, who is looking to defend his title.I love playing in Japan. It’s a great culture, respectful people, respectful fans.
