Stephen Gallacher has a 67 in Morocco

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Argentina's Ricardo Gonzalez was the clubhouse leader at the Trophée Hassan II on its European Tour International Schedule debut in Morocco.
The 40 year old, winner of last season's SAS Masters in Sweden, played his opening round on the shorter (par 72) Blue course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat and grabbed five birdies in the space of seven holes before reaching the turn in four under 32.
Gonzalez did not waste his good start and set the clubhouse target with a six under par 66.
He shared top spot with the highest ranked player in the field - Italian Francesco Molinari , who had one to play, with Spain’s Igancio Garrido one behind along with France's Jean-François Lucquin and Indian S S P Chowrasia.
England's Sam Little burst to five under after seven, but then double bogeyed the ninth, while former Ryder Cup players Darren Clarke and David Howell stood two under.
The first two rounds are in a pro-am format - Clarke is partnering his father - before the leading professionals progress to the closing 36 holes at the weekend.
The Red Course has a par of 73 and measures 7,344 yards.
First Scot to finish was Stephen Gallacher with a five-under-par 67.
