BIRDIE FOR POTGIETER
Perfect start for Potgieter, who makes just the eighth birdie of the day at the first! That was textbook from the South African, who draws level with English, who narrowly fails to get up-and-down from the greenside bunker as he makes a bogey. Along with English, Novak also bogeys the hole and, in 20 minutes, we’ve already seen a two shot swing.
APPROACH SHOTS AT THE FIRST
Winds are gusting to 20mph already and the temperatures are below 60. This is going to be a fun watch as the players navigate this afternoon, certainly as English pushes his approach into the greenside bunker from 185-yards.
It’s a completely different story for Potgieter, who sticks his approach from 145-yards to 13-feet, whist Novak is forced to chip back into the fairway following a poor tee shot. From there, the American finds the green with his third, albeit outside Potgieter’s, but it is a chance to save par.
LEADERS ARE OFF
The final group are off in San Diego and, on the first tee, English pulls his tee shot left of the fairway and into the rough. In terms of Novak, he carves his tee shot the other direction and into the right rough, whilst 20-year-old Potgieter, the youngest professional in the field, pounds his ball down the right side of the fairway. We are officially underway!
STEVENS MAKES A GREAT START

It’s been a great start from Sam Stevens, who has birdied the second and third to move to two-under for his round and five-under for the tournament. He’s made every cut in 2025 and is out the traps well on the South Course.
STRONG START FROM BRYAN
The leaders head out at 11.11am local time, so around 10 minutes from now and, in the early stages, Wesley Bryan has birdied the opening hole to get to five-under-par, four back of English. Along with Bryan, a number of players have made good starts in what should be an enthralling watch over the next few hours.
