The spotlight shines brightly on Justin Rose, who emerges as the first-round leader with a jaw-dropping seven-under 65, leaving his competitors in awe. Defending champion Sky Sheffler and other top players like Ludvig Oberg and Bryson DeChambeau trail behind, setting the stage for a thrilling competition.
