Chilean golfer Felipe Aguilar made a remarkable debut at the Trophy Hassan II on the PGA Tour Champions, completing a successful opening round in Morocco. Aguilar posted an impressive scorecard of 70 strokes, which is three under par, on the challenging course of Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, a par 73 layout. This commendable performance placed him in a tie for fifth position in the tournament alongside three other competitors.
Aguilar’s round was characterized by his ability to sink five birdies while only recording two bogeys, allowing him to remain at the top of the leaderboard for a significant portion of the day. His strong performance positions him well as he looks ahead to the upcoming rounds of the event. Currently, Aguilar trails the leader, Australian golfer Scott Hend, by four strokes; Hend started strong with an impressive score of 66 strokes, which is seven under par. Close behind are American golfer Tommy Gainey at six under par and another Australian, Cameron Percy, at five under par.
The Trophy Hassan II is one of the international stops on the PGA Tour Champions and takes place in Rabat, Morocco, at the historic Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. As Aguilar continues his quest for the podium, he will be looking to build on his solid start during Friday’s round.
