Two bogeys, as many birdies and a double bogey for Migliozzi from Vicenza who, after a difficult start, tried to get back on track.

gold at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games which he won at the US Open in 2013) and Matthew Fitzpatrick.
Just outside the Top 10, 14 / i with 69 (-1), here are the Spaniard Jon Rahm (reigning champion), the Americans Collin Morikawa, JustinThomas, Will Zalatoris and eight other players.
