WGC HSBC Champions leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/wgc-hsbc-champions/leaderboard.html
Shanghai, China is 12 hours ahead of EST and as you awake on the east coast round 1 of the WGC HSBC Champions is in the books and China's Li Haotong has thrilled the locals with a -8 64 to grab a one shot lead. Ranked #59 in the world he had 7 birdies and an eagle and with that became the first Chinese player to lead a WGC event after the opening round.
Victor Perez of France won the Alfred Dunhill Links last month, and buoyed with confidence he fired a -7 65 to place 2nd. A strong group at -6 66 include Adam Scott, defending champion Xander Schauffele, and Matt Fitzpzatrick
Corey Connors held the lead through 11 holes and has ended up T7 -5 67 while Adam Hadwin has work to do after an opening T64 +2 74.
Joining Corey at -5 is Rory McIlroy who came home in 31 strokes to continue his run of good form, T3 last week.
Conditions at the Sheshan International GC were ideal with little or no wind and the weather forecast for the rest of the week is the same, so expect a shoot out..
