Aman Gupta
St. Andrews, Scotland, July 28-29: Indian-American Aman Gupta turned in 3-under 69 and was lying T-57th at the end of the first day of the 2022 Hero Open at Fairmont St Andrews.
Meanwhile, Sean Crocker turned in a superb course-record round of 9-under 63 to lead by a single shot on a day of low scores after the first round of the 2022 Hero Open at Fairmont St Andrews. As many as a dozen players shot 7-under 65 or better. Crocker was the sole leader, while Frenchman Romain Langasque, English duo Ben Stow and Ashley Chesters, Swede Jens Dantorp and Spaniard Adrian Otaegui were in a tie for second on eight under.
Another group of six players, including home favourites David Law and Connor Syme, one shot further back.
Indian-American Julian Suri carded 1-over 73 and Jack Singh Brar (74) are lying far back and will need a solid second round to make the cut.
American Crocker, 25, picked up six shots in five holes on the front nine after going birdie-birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie from the third. And after dropping his only shot of the day at the tenth, he made four birdies in his next five holes to get to nine under par and stand alone at the top of the leaderboard.
