Elliot Saltman one off the pace in Spain

FROM THE SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
Michael Collins, representing Ireland, was the only player to beat par today in demanding conditions over the signature Nicklaus course situated in Murcia, Spain.
Michael , a last minute entry , played a solid round of 71 consisting of 3 birdies , two bogeys and 13 pars to set the pace in the Hi5 Pro Tour Condado de Alhama open.
Close on his heels, just one shot behind are Scotland's Elliot Saltman, whose younger brother Lloyd won last week's event, and Fredrik Hammarberg of Sweden.
Leading the Seniors section with a score of 73 ( +1 ) is England's Gary Wolstenholme who turned pro late in his career after establishing a stellar amateur CV.
