ALPS TOUR REPORT AND SCORES

DEAR 71, HUME 78 IN FIRST ROUND
AT GOLF DE DISNEYLAND

Perthshire’s Steven Hume finished well ahead of his travelling companion Gaviu Dear in last week’s Alps Tour event but “normal service was resumed” on the first day of this week’s competition, the Open International d’Ile de France at Golf de Disneyland today.
Dear shot a one-under-par 71 to share 25th place overnight. The Murrayshall House Hotel player birdied the long first, the long sixth, the 11th, the long 14th and the short 15th but had probably too many bogeys for his own liking – at the short eighth, the nith, the short 13th and the long 18th in halves of 35.
That left him five shots behind the Spanish leader, former European Tour player Domingo Hospital.
Hume is near the bottom of the field of over 130 after a seven-over-78 which had three birdies, at the sixth, seventh and 10th, but also eight bogeys and a double bogey 7 at the long closing hole.
