PGA EUROPRO TOUR WINNERS ON TRAIL
OF REPEAT PERFORMANCE

COLM Moriarty and Matthew Woods are aiming to become the first player to win two events in the 2007 PGA EuroPro Tour season.
Both men, who have won previous competitions at Wensum Valley and Bovey Castle respectively, made a fine start to event eight, which is being held at The Players Club in Bristol.
On day one the pair both fired rounds of four-under-par 68 to lead the race for the £10,000 top prize in the field of 168.
Irishman Moriarty, a member of the Glasson Golf Hotel and Country Club, had birdies at the first, third, eighth and 18th, while Woods (Donnington Grove) secured five birdies but a dropped shot at the 13th cost him the overall lead.
It was also a good day for the other former winners as each of the seven players are well positioned in the event, which is sponsored by Claytons Kola Tonic.
Faithlegg victor Graeme Clark is one of five men on three-under in equal third, along with Anglo-Scot Alasdair Hay (Royal Winchester), Martin Le Mesurier, Steve Surry (Cumberwell) and James Ruebotham (Welwyn Garden City).
The top 50 plus ties after Wednesday's second round will advance to Thursday's third and final round.
