Display skill and precision, Adrian Larsson from The Els Club fired an impressive seven under par 65 to seize the lead after the opening round of the Tommy Fleetwood International Pathway Series, presented by DP World, at the spectacular Earth Course in Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Larsson kicked off his round with a flourish, sinking birdies on the second and third holes, which set the tone for an exciting day. He turned in an impressive 34, but it was on the back nine that his game truly ignited.

He not only secured further birdies on the 11th, 15th, and 18th holes but also achieved a spectacular eagle on the challenging 536-yard par five 14th. Remarkably, Larsson maintained his focus throughout, completing a bogey-free round that showcased his talent and composure.
