The Puerto Rico Open is a “alternative competition” designed for players who did not participate in the World Golf Championship (WGC) Workday Championship (total prize money of $10.5 million), which is held during the same period as a “exclusive competition,” mainly for players within the 50th place in the world ranking.
Tommy Gayney, a 46-year-old senior citizen (USA), who once stood at the top of the PGA Tour at the 2012 McGradley Classic, took the lead with a 7-under-par 65.
Gayney wears gloves on both hands and is called the’Man of Two Hand Gloves’.
Robert Garrigus (USA), Fabian Gomes (Argentina), and Greg Chalmers (Australia) were ranked second.
