MOROCCO TO SPAIN MOVE PAYS OFF FOR PAUL O'HARA
Paul O'Hara moved up from Morocco at the weekend to Spain's Costa Dorada - and it was a move that paid a handsome dividend in the first round of the Hi5 Pro Tour event, the Lumine Hills Open over a Greg Norman-designed course an hour from Barcelona.
The Motherwell man shot a two-over-par 74 in very windy weather to share the lead with Patrick O'Neill (Denmark).
Conditions were so testing that only seventh of the field broke 80 and one pro walked in from the turn, having taken 45 shots to get that far.
O'Hara limited the damage into the wind to 40 shots and birdied the long 11th, 13th and 15th with only one bogey, at the short 14th, in an inward 34.
The joint leaders are two shots clear of England's William Harrold in what is a two-day 36-hole event.
