A stellar round from Japan's Ryo Hisatsune, firing a 4-under 67, to take the early clubhouse lead in Bermuda. Hisatsune, who's 84th in the FedEx Cup standings, recorded five birdies. He was the first player to tee off Thursday morning and is first on the leaderboard.

After the first round of the DP World Tour Championship, it is an American who tops the leaderboard at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. Michael Kim was flawless across his first 18 holes of play at the Earth Course and signed for an opening 8-under 64 to position himself one clear of Tommy Fleetwood.
