Adrian Meronk had a spectacular start in the ongoing 2023 BMW PGA Championship at the Wentworth Club in Surrey. Despite shooting a double bogey on the 17th hole, he managed to score a 5 under 65 in the first round and finish tied for fourth position on the leaderboard.
The DP World Tour shared an infographic that had Meronk's scorecard on X (formerly known as Twitter). The post garnered enough attention, which included trolls for the European Ryder Cup team captain Luke Donald.
Earlier on the European team selection day, Donald overlooked Adrian Meronk as one of the six potential captain's pick. One of the fans wrote:
"Luke Donald doesn’t think he can play."
Fans were so furious that one of them said that Meronk should have been on the plane to Italy. He later remarked it was "disgraceful" for Luke Donald to overlook him for the European team.
While some fans were disappointed with Nicolai Hojgaard, who is currently nine strokes behind Adrian Meronk. One of the fans wrote:
"Meanwhile Hojgaard is nine shots worse off than Meronk. Awkward dinner for Luke Donald."
Meronk had six top-10 finishes, including two wins, before he entered the field of the 2023 BMW PGA Championship. Another fan felt that the Polish golfer was way more consistent than Nicolai Hojgaard.
This fan felt that Adrian Meronk had played better than half of the European team members for the 2023 Ryder Cup.
Fans were totally in support of Meronk and that could be seen in the comment section of the DP World Tour's post. Here are some top comments in favor of the Polish Golfer:
NUCLR GOLF shared a comparison post on X, formerly Twitter, which had statistics of Adrian Meronk and Nicolai Hojgaard's first-round play in the ongoing BMW PGA Championship.
Here are some top comments from fans who were in favor of the Polish golfer:
When will Adrian Meronk resume his play at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship?
