Diamond Cup

On the range ahead of the first round.Playing in his first tour event in Japan Trav made a great start carding a 2 under par 69.  Starting on the 10th he managed even par on the first nine with a bogey matched by a birdie.  On the second nine got it going a bit with two birds."Game got better and better as the day went on. The last 9 holes were almost flawless. Tomorrow it’s expected to rain all day. Looking forward to getting out there early and tackling the course again. Might head into Shibuya Tokyo in the evening since we tee off at 6.50am!"  ha ha!John Serhan, added " solid start to the week. Driving was awesome on tight fairways. We'll dial in the wedges a bit more tomorrow".He is Tied 22nd at the time of this post alongside Anthony Qualye and a bunch of others. Leader is Daijiro Izmida of Japan who scorched the course with 9 birdies and one bogey for an 8 under par total of 63.There are 9 Aussie Professionals in the field and a couple of amateurs.  The cut of top 60 and ties is likely move out one or two shots from the present even par given forecast rain.
