Detroit (US), (Agencies):Returning
to competitive golf after four months, India’s Arjun Atwal opened his campaign
at the Rocket Mortgage Classic with a 2-under 70 in the first round.
Atwal was tied-68th, five shots behind the leaders, Doc
Redman, Scott Stallings and Kevin Kisner. Six players carded 66s on Thursday.
Sure I missed some small ones, but also made a few long
putts. I guess a bit of rust. But I will take this considering how long I have
not played — Arjun Atwal
Atwal had birdies on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th and 15th
holes, and bogeys on the 2nd, 11th and 18th holes.
“I had a great
hole-out from a bunker almost 40 feet away for a birdie on par-3 15th. That was
pretty special as I couldn’t see the green or see the ball go in,” said Atwal.
