Genworth Stats Pack - Day 2 Review

Daniel Brooks fired eight birdies on his way to a superb bogey free opening round of 62, to hold the clubhouse lead by one shot. Looking at his Genworth Statistics, the 26 year old English golfer only managed 4/13 fairways but he was still able to hit 14/18 Greens in Regulation and go onto convert 12 single putts over the Mount Edgecombe course. Most impressive of all was his birdie two’s at all five of the Par 3 holes.

François Calmels converted one eagle and seven birdies against two bogeys on his way to an opening round of 63. Looking at his Genworth Statistics, the just turned 32 year old French golfer hit 8/13 fairways and 16/18 Greens in Regulation (the most of all the players who have so far completed Round 1), plus he hit 2/3 of the Par 5 greens in sub-regulation two shots, for a Par 5 average of 3.67.

Edouard Dubois converted seven birdies against a single bogey on his way to an opening round of 64. Looking at his Genworth Statistics, the 24 year old French golfer drove the ball accurately hitting 11/13 fairways, plus he also recorded a solid 13/18 Greens in Regulation and just 26 putts in total. Interestingly, in contrast to the leader being -5 on the Par 3’s, Edouard only managed +1 over those holes (that’s six shots difference which goes to show how differently players can build their scores).

Romain Wattel converted one eagle and five birdies against a single bogey on his way to an opening round of 64. Looking at his Genworth Statistics, the 22 year old French golfer hit 8/13 fairways and 13/18 Greens in Regulation, plus he took just 24 putts in total. It has been a good start to the tournament for the French players with three of them featuring in today’s report.
