SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S PLAY FROM THE ALPS TOUR WEBSITE

Switzerland's Nicolas Sulzer, 30, shot 65, six under par at the Riva de Tessali golf course. After a poor season – his words – he has been training for one month now with national coach Steve Rey and already enjoys the results.
“I feel better, I played really solid. I used to live in London but I am back to Switzerland now and I am more focus on my game. The work we did with Steve suits me well and I think it is only the beginning.”
French amateur Edwinn Thomann and Spain's Ignacio Sanchez are two strokes back of the same golf course.
The other course in use - Metaponto - is regard to be the "easier" of the two and scores are very often better there.
Italy's Emmanuele Lattanzi, 34 year old winner of the Alps Tour ranking in 2003 thanks to three wins, signed for a wonderful 64, eight under par, to lead at Metaponto by one from Australian amateur Daniel Popovic and Italian amateur Cristiano Terragni.
France's Guillaume Cambis and Italian Benedetto Pastore both shot six-under 66 to share fourth place.
The projected cut, leading 65 and ties, is level par. The top 35 at the end of the tournament will have full category to play Alps Tour next year.
