Vilamoura, Algarve, 31 de julho, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 <\/span>Fez-se hist\u00f3ria esta sexta-feira no The Els Club Vilamoura, com o Portugal Invitational a acolher a primeira volta de sempre do PGA TOUR Champions disputada na Europa. Zach Johnson, capit\u00e3o da equipa norte-americana na Ryder Cup de 2023, terminou um emocionante primeiro dia no Algarve na lideran\u00e7a da competi\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Depois de meses de expectativa, chegou finalmente o momento da competi\u00e7\u00e3o, num cen\u00e1rio privilegiado e perante uma forte ades\u00e3o de p\u00fablico, que acompanhou de perto a a\u00e7\u00e3o ao longo do campo. A movimentada Fan Zone contribuiu tamb\u00e9m para criar uma atmosfera vibrante durante todo o dia. Para al\u00e9m do golfe, os espectadores puderam desfrutar de um programa completo de atividades, enquanto alguns dos maiores nomes da hist\u00f3ria da modalidade iniciavam a luta pelo primeiro t\u00edtulo do Portugal Invitational.<\/p>\n

A hist\u00f3ria come\u00e7ou a escrever-se logo na primeira pancada. Embora Billy Andrade, Richard Green e Tag Ridings tenham tido a honra de dar in\u00edcio \u00e0 competi\u00e7\u00e3o no primeiro tee, Jamie Donaldson, respons\u00e1vel pelo ponto que garantiu a vit\u00f3ria da Europa na Ryder Cup de 2014, tinha iniciado a sua volta momentos antes no tee do buraco 10, tornando-se assim o primeiro jogador a executar uma pancada competitiva num torneio do PGA TOUR Champions disputado na Europa.<\/p>\n

Esta sexta-feira assinalou tamb\u00e9m outro marco importante para o The Els Club Vilamoura, que recebeu a sua primeira competi\u00e7\u00e3o oficial pouco mais de um ano ap\u00f3s a sua abertura. Com excelentes condi\u00e7\u00f5es de jogo e pouco vento no campo desenhado pelo pr\u00f3prio Ernie Els, os jogadores aproveitaram ao m\u00e1ximo as condi\u00e7\u00f5es, e os resultados baixos rapidamente se tornaram uma das principais caracter\u00edsticas da volta inaugural.<\/p>\n

O eslovaco Rory Sabbatini foi um dos primeiros jogadores a estabelecer o ritmo. O medalhado de prata ol\u00edmpico completou uma ronda sem bogeys, com 65 pancadas, incluindo cinco birdies nos \u00faltimos nove buracos, estabelecendo a primeira grande refer\u00eancia do dia no torneio.<\/p>\n

Zach Johnson, no entanto, tinha outros planos. O bicampe\u00e3o de Majors chegou a Portugal como um dos jogadores em maior destaque na temporada do PGA TOUR Champions, somando j\u00e1 tr\u00eas vit\u00f3rias em 2026, e deixou claras as suas inten\u00e7\u00f5es desde o in\u00edcio, com quatro birdies nos primeiros cinco buracos.<\/p>\n

Uma das chaves para a volta de Johnson foi a capacidade de tirar o m\u00e1ximo partido dos pares 5 do The Els Club Vilamoura, ganhando pancadas em todos eles \u00e0 medida que continuava a ganhar ritmo. No buraco 18, protagonizou ainda um \u00faltimo momento de grande qualidade, com uma excelente pancada de aproxima\u00e7\u00e3o que lhe deixou uma curta oportunidade de birdie. Johnson n\u00e3o desperdi\u00e7ou e terminou com 64 pancadas, oito abaixo do par, assumindo isoladamente a lideran\u00e7a para a segunda volta de s\u00e1bado. Est\u00e1 uma pancada \u00e0 frente de Sabbatini e mant\u00e9m bem vivo o objetivo de conquistar a quarta vit\u00f3ria da temporada.<\/p>\n

Johnson deixou tamb\u00e9m rasgados elogios ao campo e ao trabalho desenvolvido por Els e pela sua equipa: \u201cErnie fez um excelente trabalho. Acho que a beleza deste campo est\u00e1 no facto de n\u00e3o importar se somos profissionais, amadores ou principiantes: \u00e9 poss\u00edvel jogar aqui na mesma. Isso \u00e9 dif\u00edcil de conseguir e \u00e9 realmente um excelente desenho\u201d, afirmou Johnson.<\/p>\n

\u201cTem de tudo \u2013 esquerda, direita, curto, subidas, descidas \u2013 e tem personalidade. Parab\u00e9ns ao Ernie e \u00e0 sua equipa, fizeram um trabalho extraordin\u00e1rio.\u201d<\/p>\n

Logo atr\u00e1s, o irland\u00eas Padraig Harrington tamb\u00e9m teve um excelente in\u00edcio de semana em Portugal, assinando uma volta de 66 pancadas, seis abaixo do par. Partilha essa marca com o alem\u00e3o Alex Cejka, o sul-coreano Charlie Wi e o sueco Mikael Lundberg, com os quatro empatados no terceiro lugar \u00e0 entrada para a segunda volta de s\u00e1bado.<\/p>\n

O sul-africano Ernie Els tamb\u00e9m proporcionou v\u00e1rios momentos de entusiasmo ao p\u00fablico no campo que agora ostenta o seu nome. O membro do World Golf Hall of Fame esteve em excelente forma durante grande parte do dia e, apesar de um double bogey no \u00faltimo buraco, terminou com 68 pancadas, quatro abaixo do par, mantendo-se numa boa posi\u00e7\u00e3o para a volta de hoje, s\u00e1bado.<\/p>\n

O alem\u00e3o Bernhard Langer tamb\u00e9m protagonizou um in\u00edcio s\u00f3lido, com uma volta inaugural de tr\u00eas abaixo do par, enquanto Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez terminou o dia com uma pancada abaixo do par. Ambos procurar\u00e3o subir na classifica\u00e7\u00e3o no s\u00e1bado, \u00e0 medida que um field repleto de campe\u00f5es de Majors, \u00edcones da Ryder Cup e alguns dos nomes mais bem-sucedidos do golfe s\u00e9nior prossegue a luta pela conquista do primeiro t\u00edtulo do Portugal Invitational.<\/p>\n

A apoiar a edi\u00e7\u00e3o inaugural do torneio est\u00e1 uma forte rede de parceiros e broadcasters, que contribuem para proporcionar ao Portugal Invitational uma plataforma de grande visibilidade desde a sua estreia. Arrow Global, Vilamoura, Visit Portugal e Visit Algarve juntam-se \u00e0 Mercedes-Benz, Kress, Reflo, Dils, Deloitte, Lus\u00edadas Sa\u00fade, Loul\u00e9, Heritage Wines, Heineken, Nespresso, Pacheca, Vista Alegre e InfraMoura.<\/p>\n

Os parceiros de media incluem a SIC Not\u00edcias, o Expresso, a Sport TV e a JCDecaux. O seu apoio proporciona uma plataforma s\u00f3lida para a estreia do torneio e ajuda a dar balan\u00e7o ao crescimento cont\u00ednuo do Portugal Invitational nos pr\u00f3ximos anos.<\/p>\n

As tr\u00eas voltas ser\u00e3o transmitidas na televis\u00e3o nos Estados Unidos no GOLF Channel. A cobertura internacional do PGA TOUR Champions est\u00e1 dispon\u00edvel em mais de 170 pa\u00edses e territ\u00f3rios atrav\u00e9s da rede de parceiros de media da TOUR.<\/p>\n

A primeira arrancou esta sexta-feira, 31 de julho, ficando a coroa\u00e7\u00e3o do campe\u00e3o inaugural do Portugal Invitational reservada para domingo, 2 de agosto.<\/p>\n
