All eyes are on the Arnold Palmer Invitational but there’s another PGA Tour tournament going on this week.
The Puerto Rico Open is the first opposite-field event of 2022 and Chase Seiffert posted an opening-round 65 to stake claim to the solo lead at the Grand Reserve Golf Club. He’s now posted under-par scores in all nine rounds he’s played in this event.
Last week, Seiffert was in a 16-for-1 playoff in the Monday qualifier for the Honda Classic. He didn’t win that playoff, which actually ended on Tuesday, but then managed to snag a spot in the field as the second alternate after Cameron Tringale and Tyler Duncan each withdrew. He made the most of his week there, as he was tied for sixth heading into the weekend and eventually finished T-25.
