The first round of the BMW PGA Championship was a thrilling one, with Sweden’s Joakim à berg shooting an impressive 4-under 68 to lead the field. à berg’s round was two strokes better than the nearest competitor, Rory McIlroy, and three strokes better than Norway’s Viktor Hovland.
The day was a great one for à berg, who started off strong with a birdie on the first hole. He then went on to make four more birdies and just one bogey on the par-4 sixth hole. His impressive round was a great way to start the tournament and put him in a great position to win the championship.
McIlroy had a solid round as well, shooting a 2-under 70. He had four birdies and two bogeys, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with à berg. Hovland also had a good round, shooting a 1-under 71. He had three birdies and two bogeys, but it wasn’t quite enough to keep up with the leaders.
It was an exciting first round of the BMW PGA Championship, and à berg’s impressive 4-under 68 has put him in a great position to win the tournament. He will have to keep up his strong play over the next few days if he wants to take home the trophy. McIlroy and Hovland will also be looking to make a move up the leaderboard and challenge à berg for the title. It should be an exciting few days of golf as these three players battle it out for the championship.
