RIYADH: Spectators in attendance and fans watching around the world were treated to some scintillating golf on day one of the Aramco Team Series presented by Public Investment Fund – Riyadh.

Organisers for the Masters and Open Championship on Thursday dismissed the notion that they would create automatic major exemptions for LIV golfers next year. "While we do not at this time anticipate making any changes in 2024, we do always look at them and we will continue to do that," said Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley. "Our qualification criteria are very much dynamic, and we adjust to what we feel is in the bestinterests of the tournament representing the best players in the world, so we always look at that." When a reporter suggested it would be a "shame" if LIV Golf's individual season-long points winner Talor Gooch wasn't able to compete in the Masters, Ridley responded: "They made decisions based on what they thought was in the best interests of their golf careers, and we certainly respect that." Last April, 18 LIV Golf members competed in the Masters -- with Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson finishing in a tie for second place, four strokes behind the winner Jon Rahm. Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith are the lone LIV players currently eligible for the 2024 Masters field. R&A chief executive officer Martin Slumbers said Thursday that it was premature to discuss the qualification criteria for The Open in 2024. "There has been some speculation in the media recently, and I would say that it is completely off the mark," Slumbers said.
LIV Golf League players who were hoping the major championships would change criteria to make it easier for them to qualify for those fields probably aren't going to get their wish when it comes to the Masters.
Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow are off the early pace after the opening round at the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Malayisa.
Organisers of the Masters and Open Championship say they have no plans to create exemptions for LIV players in 2024.
Indian golfer Avani Prashanth continued her superb form by shooting a bogey-free 4-under 68 to take a share of the early lead in the first round of the individual section of the World Amateur Team Championship for Espirito Santo Trophy in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. Avan, who won the Queen Sirikit Cup and a pro title, while being an amateur at a LET Access Tour event in Europe, started on the 10th tee at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club and had two sets of back-to-back birdies, one on each half of the course. Avani, who also has Top-10 finishes in two other LET professional events in Kenya Ladies Open and Hero Women's Indian Open, started with seven pars and then birdied the 17th and 18th.
