- Westwood falters with double bogey impact.
- Gooch finishes strong with late birdie.
- Smith's strong start ends with two bogeys.
- LIV Golf team format counts all scores.

Westwood, fresh off qualifying for next week’s Open, initially led the pack with four birdies in his first seven holes. However, a double bogey interrupted his momentum, though he managed to finish strong with four pars. Meanwhile, Gooch, who won the LIV Golf Andalucía in 2023, ended his round with a birdie, despite a tumultuous stretch of three birdies and three bogeys.
