 The Asian tour celebrated its return to the Macau open after a six-year absence by scoring some exceptional rounds of golf. This is Taichi Ko who's been such good form recently. A 66 today, no drop shots, five under par after the opening round. And how about Liang Wenchong, one of the all-time great Chinese players? He's now 45 years old, still playing some very good golf. This is second into the eighth, a 68 for Wenchong today. And that's three under par. Yeah, he's still smiling. Gaggenjit Buller was the winner last time round in Macau back in 2017. This was his tee shot at the six. They'd opened up with birdies at the first two holes today, and it continued that fine form. Buller also recording a 66 for five under. Pavard Tankham-Oprisat, another of the players who didn't drop a shot today, a 66 today with a birdie at the ninth, his closing hole. It's good to see Adjitesh Sandhu back fully fit again after some problems with a back injury. Didn't quite manage to finish with a birdie at his closing hole the ninth, but it was still a 63, eight under par. Left him in tied third place. Min Woo Lee, the lowest ranked player here this week. 46 in the world rankings, played beautifully. An eagle putt at the second on his back nine. And he finished in style as well with a birdie at the ninth, his last. 62, and that set the standard for the rest of the day. Late on note, that score was matched by David Drysdale, who played nearly 600 tournaments on the DP World Tour, is a rookie on the Asian Tour, and played superbly today. This is second into the seventh. The second of three birdies in a row. Another would come at the 15th. Nine birdies, no bogeys, Drysdale alongside Lee at nine under with a hole to play.
