The 2024 Open de France is currently underway at Le Golf National. After the end of day 1, Joe Dean, Thorbjørn Olesen and Jesper Svensson are currently in the joint lead of the event after posting a score of -6.
Joe Dean, a former delivery driver is leading the tournament after an impressive performance at the Open de France. Speaking about his day, Dean said via Yahoo Sports:
"Tried keeping it in the fairways. The rough is quite juicy out there so fairway golf is pretty key. Seeing how much rain it's had over the last 24 hours, to be playing is an astonishment in itself. The greens are really good. Arguably I'd say some of the best we've played this year, and after all the rain, as well, it's fantastic."
Billy Horschel, who was one of the top ranked golfers going into the Open de France, managed to only finish T73 with a score of 1-over. For round 2, he will tee it up with Justin Rose and Romain Langasque at 7:30am. Dean will tee it off at 7:10am with Antoine Rozner and Thomas Detry.
