Indian golfer Shubhankar Sharma faced a challenging first round at the FedEx Open de France, ending with a one-over 72, leaving him tied for 77th. Despite notable birdies on several holes, five bogeys undermined his performance.

Starting strongly with birdies on the fourth and sixth holes, Sharma's game fell apart on the back nine with three bogeys in a row. He concluded with a birdie and a bogey, needing a stronger second round to stay in contention.

The leaderboard was topped by Joe Dean, Thorbjorn Olesen, and Jesper Svensson, each carding six-under 65s. Benefiting from softer course conditions due to heavy rainfall, Olesen drew upon past success at the venue, adding momentum to his game.
