The first round of the Silverado Championship has come to a close and the leaderboard is already looking quite interesting. Lucas Herbert is leading the pack with an impressive score of -7, six strokes ahead of Justin Thomas who is in second place at -1.
Herbert, who is from Australia, has been playing some great golf lately and it showed in the first round of the tournament. He started off strong with birdies on the first two holes and then continued to make par or better on the next 16 holes. He was able to make three more birdies on the back nine to finish with a score of -7.
Justin Thomas, who is currently ranked number one in the world, had a bit of a slower start to the tournament. He made par on the first three holes before making his first birdie on the fourth hole. He then made par or better on the next 14 holes before making two more birdies on the back nine. His score of -1 was still good enough to put him in second place.
The rest of the leaderboard is quite close with many players within striking distance of Herbert. Players like Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Hideki Matsuyama are all within four strokes of Herbert’s lead. With such a tight leaderboard, it looks like this tournament is going to be a great one.
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the tournament plays out and if Herbert can hold onto his lead. It’s clear that he is playing some great golf and if he can keep it up, he could be in for a great finish. On the other hand, Justin Thomas is never one to be counted out and he could easily make a comeback in the next few rounds.
No matter what happens, this tournament is sure to be an exciting one and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
