The DP World Tour is currently stopped off at the scene of the men's and women's Olympic golf tournaments, Le Golf National in Paris, for the FedEX Open de France.
A strong field is in action, with two of the most high-profile players - BMW PGA Championship winner Billy Horschel and Ryder Cup star Justin Rose - grouped alongside local star Romain Langasque in the opening two rounds.
They have so far endured contrasting fortunes in northern France, with Rose two shots back from the leaders at four-under, Horschel fighting to make the cut at +1, and Langasque praying for a miracle to make the weekend at +5. Those three begin their second round at 7:30am ET (1:30pm BST) on Friday.
Another eye-catching group sees three-time DP World Tour winner Nicolai Hojgaard grouped with four-time winner Thriston Lawrence and 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett.
However, once again, only one of the trio enjoyed a bright first round among the rain showers. Hojgaard used up his fair share of luck to reach -5 while Lawrence and Willett are at +3 and +5, respectively. They hope to maintain or improve their individual rounds at 2:45am ET (8:45am BST) in round two.
After round one, three players currently hold the lead on six-under - a remarkable score, given the conditions - including Joe Dean, Jesper Svensson, and Thorbjorn Olesen.
Below are the tee times and groupings for round two of the 2024 Open de France.
