BMW PGA championship: Ludvig Åberg shares the early head in Wentworth while Rory McILroy makes a stammering finish at the opening of the Tour | News Golf

Ludvig Åberg holds a share of the head after an opening day disturbed by the weather at the BMW PGA championship, while Rory McILroy suffered a frustrating end in his round in Wentworth.

Åberg recovered from a bogey of opening holes to post nine birdies in a 64 in the first round and share the first place with Tom Vaillant de la France, which set the initial objective of the clubhouse after six birdies during the last seven holes raised it eight sous.

Casey Jarvis in South Africa is seated in the third and Matt Fitzpatrick is one of these two, with the Ryder Cup teammates, Viktor Hovland, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry in the three of the early advance after hiding five under 67.

Lowry was playing alongside McILroy, who dropped the last one and carded a 69 under three, while Jon Rahm – finished this three -ball brand – Birdie three of his last four holes to save less than 71.

The afternoon wave was disrupted by an 85-minute weather time due to the threat of thunderstorms, leaving 30 players unable to finish their first round before the game just after 7:30 p.m. due to the dark.

Mixed start for the stars of the Ryder Cup in Europe

Eleven from the European Ryder Cup European team in Europe are in action during the flagship event of the DP World Tour, before facing the American team with Bethpage Black later this month, with McILroy headlining the field and seeks to follow the spectacular success of Sunday Amgen Irish.

McILroy cut off the opening of the green and two strokes of 20 feet to add another birdie to the fourth per-five, then canceled a bogey in the fifth outdoors starting his new back with a 12-foot birdie in the 10th.

The world n ° 2 scrambled it by the next one and responded to a frustration by a bad chip in the 12th per-five by Holing for Birdie, with McILroy in search of a late thrust in the ranking after launching a 15 feet in the 16th per four to move four sous.

McILroy missed an opportunity for five feet for the Birdie in the 17th by Five, then found the water with his approach in the last par -five, which led him to close with a Bogey – after failing to get up – and drop him five behind.

Lowry exceeded her game partner with a breathtaking finish, having been a peer level for the day until we follow three birdies in a section of four holes in the 12th by taking advantage of the two closure parks to reach five sous.

Rahm was two for his round when he drained a 35 feet to blur an improbable peer in the 13th, after being involved in a long discussion with a rules, the Spaniard with three consecutive stews of the 15 to end an opening day at low score under the peer.

Robert Macintyre joined Rahm on a penny, with Tommy Fleetwood stammered at a 73 and Rasmus Hojgaard another time despite a Birdie-Eagle finish in turn. Hojgaard’s twin brother Nicolai is the joint background of the ranking after hiding a new quadruple-bogey in the 17th by five when it opened 78.

The second round will start as planned at 6:40 am Friday, with the first round ending at 7.45 a.m.
