First round leaderboard:
The shot of the day belongs to local favorite Edoardo Molinari. He made a hole-in-one on the par three seventh and is only a shot behind the leaders. The last Italian to win on home soil was Edoardo’s brother Francesco. The 2018 Open champion claimed the title in 2016 when the tournament was played at Golf Club Milano.
