The opening day of the Amgen Irish Open hit a snag. Darkness rolled in, stopping the first round before everyone could finish. This left many golfers, including Portugal’s Ricardo Melo Gouveia, hanging in the balance.
Ricardo Melo Gouveia finds himself tied for 104th place. He played his part of the round at the Kildare course in Ireland. His scorecard shows he’s two shots over par so far. He managed to sink two birdies, which are great, but also posted four bogeys, which hurt his score. It’s a tough start for the Portuguese pro.
Up at the top, a three-way tie is making things exciting. Three golfers are leading the pack, all sitting pretty at six shots under par. Spain’s Nacho Elvira, Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen, and France’s Romain Langasque each posted impressive rounds of 66 strokes. This event is a key stop on the DP World Tour schedule. With the first round still unfinished, everyone will be eager to see how the leaderboard shakes out when play resumes.
