Thomas Pieters Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

T. Pieters a Belgian professional golfer, was born on January 27, 1992, and he now competes on the European Tour.

The year 1992 saw the birth of T. Pieters in Geel, Belgium. In Noorderwijk, Belgium, at the Witbos Golf Club, he picked up the sport at the tender age of five.

He enrolled at the University of Illinois in 2010, where he went on to win the 2011 Jack Nicklaus Invitational and the 2012 NCAA Division I Championship as an individual.

Both Belgians T. Pieters and Thomas Detry are now performing at a high level for their national team. Detry is in a tie for 31st place after the first round with a score of -1, the worse of the two players.

That’s not a terrible starting point if you ask me. Detry is somewhere in the middle of the pack given that there are just 60 competitors. Unfortunately, T. Pieters cannot make the same claim.

As a respectable performer on the PGA Tour, T. Pieters always appears to step up his game for the Olympics. After the first round, he was tied for third after shooting a -6 (65). After the first day, he is three strokes back of the leader, Austria’s Sepp Straka (-8), and Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond (-7).

T. Pieters Was Suffered From Fever And Headache While in The Match

T. Pieters claimed he was sick all day Wednesday with a fever and headache, so he was only able to get in one nine-hole practise session. The Belgian golfer, who is 29 years old, said he wasn’t feeling much better on Thursday morning.

When he showed up for the first round of play at Kasumigaseki Country Club, despite the fact that his COVID-19 test result came back negative. It didn’t appear that T. Pieters health problems affected his performance on Day 1 of the Men’s Olympic Competition.

He got off to a sluggish start but then made up for it with an eagle on the par-4 11th and four more birdies en route to a 6-under 65 and a tie for second place with Sepp Straka. Since his disappointing fourth-place result at the 2016 Olympics, this was the kind of performance he had been hoping for. Losing out on a podium finish is what drives him the most.

Conclusion

The first round of the golf competition at the weather-delayed Tokyo Olympics, held at the Kasumigaseki Country Club on Thursday, went well for India’s Anirban Lahiri, who was competing in his second Olympics.

He shot a 4-under 67 and is currently tied for sixth place. In a field where several players had yet to finish their rounds due to a lightning storm, the former No. 1 on the Asian Tour made six birdies and two bogeys.
