Ross Cameron in top 20 with

two-under-par 70

FROM THE SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
Three players share the lead after round one of the 2010 Polaris World Riquelme Open.
Englishmen Matthew Evans and Ben Jones as well as Morten Hedegaard from Denmark shot six-under-par 66s to set hot pace at this Hi5 Pro Tour 25,000 Euro event at Hacienda Riquelme near the city of Murcia in south-east Spain.
No surprise to find Evans near the top of the leaderboard. He won on this tour less than two weeks ago and finished joint fourth last week.
A big field of 100 players teed off today in slightly windy but warm conditions after the early morning light showers had disappeared.
One of the highlights of the day was Scott Fitzgerald holing his second shot on the ninth and the 18th holes for a pair of eagle 2s.
The top 40 and ties after Wednesday's second round will qualify for Thursday's final round of a 54-hole event.
SCOTSWATCH: Tartan Tour player Ross Cameron, pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency, from Ellon in Aberdeenshire is the leading Scot with a creditable round of 70 for joint 16th place. One time European Tour player Raymond Russell matched the par of 72 and is sharing 31st place. Third best Scot is Edward Thomson with a 73 for a share of 48th place. Former Scottish boys match-play champion Paul Doherty could do no better than a 77 for joint 76th position after 18 holes. Ben Irvine has even less chance of surviving the 36-hole cut. He is joint 97th after a round of 83.
