Noh Seung-yul got off to a solid start in the middle of the pack on the first day of the PGA Tour's Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Playing the opening round at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, Noh carded seven birdies and three bogeys to finish with a 4-under-par 67.

Noh, who is aiming to secure his tour card for next year through the PGA Tour Fall Series, is tied for 30th place, five strokes behind the sole leader Chandler Blanchett, who shot a 9-under-par 62.

Ranked 189th in the FedExCup standings, Noh needs to break into the top 100 across the five Fall Series events, including this tournament, to secure his playing privileges for next season.
