  "account": "American golfer Michael Kim took the lead after posting a 63, bogey-free, to start his defense of the French Open title on Thursday. This marked his first tournament win in 53 years. Kim made eight birdies throughout the round, despite the course's transformation from Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche to Le Golf National. Seven golfers, including Jason Scrivener, Kristoffer Reitan, Thriston Lawrence, Matteo Manassero, Gregorio De Leo, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Sam Bairstow, were tied for second place after shooting 65s.",
