Torbjornsen swept 1 eagle and 7 birdies (1 bogey). Starting with a birdie on the first hole, hole 10 (par 5), 4 consecutive birdies on holes 12 to 15, and a ‘chip in eagle’ on hole 18 (par 5), he reduced 7 strokes in the first half. In the second half, after making up for the bogey on hole 1 with a birdie on hole 2, he added a birdie on hole 6 (above par 4). The average distance was 287 yards, but 25 putts were outstanding.

Torbjornsen is a 21-year-old amateur golfer born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA in September 2001. He is currently studying at the prestigious Stanford University in the United States. He is number two in the amateur world rankings. He was introduced to golf at the age of two and made a name for himself when he won the 2018 U.S. Junior Amateur. He participated in the 2019 US Open and succeeded in reaching the main draw. He has a final ranking of 79th. He finished 4th in the 2022 Travelers Championship on the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour.

Torbjornsen said, “The goal is to win,” but “I will focus on the process rather than the result.” In the DP World Tour, there were a total of four amateur championships, including Danny Lee (New Zealand) of the Johnnie Walker Classic in 2009. If Torbjornsen reaches the top, it will be the 5th time in history.
