day one

When action got under way on day one the general feeling was 'it's about time'.

“We said from day one we’re going to run the biggest deportation operation this country has seen. We will concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats, but everything I’ve ever said is that collateral arrests will be made.”

Two shots further behind, the 2021 champion Jon Rahm saw his challenge falter, having impressed on day one.

The American had four birdies in his opening eight holes and his is the only bogey-free round halfway through day one.

After pulling down the shutters on day one, Bavuma showed more attacking intent before he drove Cummins on the up and Labuschagne pulled off a spectacular full-length diving catch at cover.
