Alex Noren leads the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship at the end of Day 1. The 41-year-old Swedish golfer shot 10-under 61 with 11 birdies on the card. He took a two-shot lead over Vince Whaley, D.J. Trahan, Robert Garrigus and Dylan Wu, who shared a four-way tie.
Noren, whose work on his wedge game paid off, will resume play on Friday. The Swede will tee off Bermuda Championship Day 2 at 10:52 am at Port Royal. He will tee off alongside Patton Kizzire and Justin Lower. He will follow the pairing of 10:41 am - C.T. Pan, Bo Van Pelt and David Heard, who will take the first tee at 10:41 am.
The Swede seems to be in form. Noren set a tournament record with 11 birdies, and his 61 broke his lowest score on the PGA Tour by two shots. The golfer, who wasn’t one of the betting favorites this weekend, will be eyeing a top finish. Needless to say, Noren stands a big chance to record his career-best finish at the Bermuda Championship.
