Yuvraj Sandhu had a challenging start at the Austrian Alpine Open, scoring a 1-over 71 and tying for 100th after the first round. Despite beginning with three straight bogeys and a double bogey, Sandhu managed a brief comeback with birdies, yet ended the day slightly over par.

The course's demanding conditions mean Sandhu must elevate his performance if he hopes to secure his fourth cut this season. Meanwhile, China's Yanhan Zhou, at just 18 years old, impressed as he took the lead with an exceptional 8-under 62. Ricardo Gouveia trails closely at 7-under, and a cluster of players, including Rafa Cabrera Bello, shares third place.
