Round 1 Highlights | 2026 Husqvarna British Masters

Paul Wearing, just over the back of the green at 14. Oh, tricky, not much landing area. Depends on his lie. Played it well. Played it very well indeed. Oh, what a great way to bounce back. I know he had a tough start with a double on the 10th. Oh, let's stay there. Magnificent shot. Around about 240 for Wallace. Longest iron, fourth shot. The second jive was excellent. They always are, aren't they? And this looks pretty good too, to my eye. Oh, what a brilliant shot. Not a huge amount of break on this part of the 17th greens. Pavon, can he make his birdie? And he can. Paul Wearing here has got a difficult shot. There's a big ridge that he's got to fly it all the way over and then try and spin it. Oh, it's a beautiful shot. That's where the wet sand can help you sometimes. Bodley putt. Beg your pardon, eagle putt for Winter. That was a stunning approach here at the par 5. Not to be, but a rock solid. Bodley four. Yeah, that's sweet. This is a little Gatwick bump and runner. He's a great chipper in the pool. Oh, he does. Absolutely beautiful short game. This looks like the captain. Decided to lay up at the par 5. Absolutely beautiful. I remember watching. That's what he did so well when he got to world number one. He was. Credible from 100 yards and in. Yeah, we're back there in 2011. It was, of course, he endeavors to become the first captain of the Cup history to win three consecutive matches. Oh, well done. Hot hand on the greens. Single putt in the last five. That one for a part at 32. Following this match. Yeah, he got the drop. Just a little drainage channel. And that was of great benefit because it was a bit of a scrappy lie. Taken full advantage. Should hold it. And does confidently hold. It's a funny old card, isn't it? Double bogey par bogey. And then the four birdies in a row. Oh, beautiful putt there from the bullet. Marcus Armitage. Unmistakable frame. Penny. 12th on the race to Dubai. A stunning shot in there to the first and just the way you want to start your second nine. Tap in birdie. Just looks a little uncoordinated, doesn't it? A lot of feeling for the ball, but not a bad result. Oh, to be that uncoordinated and hit it like that. Full short here for Lindell at 17. Yeah, he's a wonderful short game. He's right up there. I'm going to make a shout. Andrew right up there with Patrick Reid. One of the best short games. It's a Frenchman Felix Marie. You might remember him. He initially had the first round lead in Denmark a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, nicely done. Very strong French contingent out there. Some really great talent. It's a kind of eagle try at 17. Always looked a little right. Expecting the wicket turn as he anticipated. This back area of the green is pretty straight from most angles, not much in any of the parts from wherever your angle you're putting from. When he went for the second time this year in Italy the week after that, his sister Carolina won. Winner of the closing swing, Scottie Jamieson at the second. Always had a beautiful golf swing. Lovely rhythm to the game. He's one of those players you looked at and always thought should do better. Just sneak past a little bit of fringe that sticks out on the left. Brave tee shot. Should release out a little. And not a bad leave if you're going to leave yourself an eight and a half footer. Not easy this. Plenty of loft needed. Got to slip the club underneath the ball. Fast on landing. OK, did he play that? Oh, it's very, very good. And he needed it. Jakara looks like a decent lie. Second to the 18th. About that sound is a little bit clanky, but maybe not hanging in the air. No, it's magnificent. Absolutely five star plus. Par five offers a few birdies and two and three upper birdies, but the rest of the back nine doesn't give him any birdies away. Well done. Two under par. Coming high. Trying to generate a bit of spin. These greens are immaculate. Training so well. Not another one. Sort of double across, but he's got away with it. Big time. Teeing the ball up. Softish greens nipped it off, so got a bit of back spin. And now he can zip these low hands. Now looking for the spin. Has he got the same spin? You're not quite as much as Sully. A little bit low his feet over the water. Joe right on line. A little unlucky, but best a little short. 152 for Matthew. Nine iron. Nothing to fear here. Pin just four from the right hand side. Well, the eyes like it. Yeah, it was right on line, wasn't it? Plenty of speed on that. Well played. Slightly awkward. Green is a little bit above you. So he's saying you heard a sort of slightly clunky hits have played it well. He wouldn't want it again. I know that. I feel a bit for wearing because when he won in Abu Dhabi a couple of years ago, 2024, he was on the absolute crest of a wave and got the card in America. The opportunity to go and play. It was a dream of his, and then he got a shoulder injury. But nothing inconsistent about this man's performance. He's only missed one cut in his last 29 events. He's in 23. Cuts in a row. And there's a terrific finish to that front nine. I'll tell you what, look out. The door is about to be walked through for Oliver Lindell into the winner's circle. Nice birdie. You're going to make the most of the par fives. There's three of those and three par threes. Quite an unusual configuration in this course. He heads off to one of the more challenging holes on this one, the fourth. Can Jeff find a perfect start to his back nine? Oh, he can. He can't see the ball missing right now, can he? He's just, he's on cloud nine. Yeah, a good stroke. And we're in perfect pace. A little up the slope at the first with Luke Donald. Not much break in it. And he reads it perfectly. Two under par, ten holes played. Morrison to get to two under. And it goes.
