AL MADDEN OPEN AT MARRAKESH, MOROCCO
JORDAN FINDLAY'S BOGEY-FREE 67
PUTS HIM IN CONTENTION
Jordan Findlay, pictured, posted a bogey-free first round of five-under-par 67 to be sharing fourth place at the end of the first round of the Al Madden Open at the Al Madden course, Marrakesh in Morocco.
The Fraserburgh man, playing out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, birdied the long fourth, the ninth, the 10th, the long 13th and 17th in halves of 34 and 33.
The former British boys' champion has sometimes been inclined to cancel out his birdies with bogeys but not on this occasion.
Findlay is two shots behind joint leaders Max Kramer (Germany) and England's James Wilson.
Stablemate Philip McLean from Peterhead is joint 13th in the field of 115 with a 69 when a par at the last would have put him alongside Findlay on the scoreboard.
But McLean, after birdieing the first, fourth, seventh, eighth, long 13th and 17th, ran up a double bogey 6 at the 18th.
Aberdeen's David Law was another Scot to rue the last hole. He finished on par 72 after recovering from a bogey-bogey start with birdies at the short sixth, ninth, long 13th, 14th and 17th ... and then had a double bogey 6 at the 18th.
Pollok's Conor O'Neil, tied 72nd, had six birdies in his 74 which might well have been a sub-70 score but for one triple bogey and two double bogeys.
Craig Lawrie had a 75 which was not a bad effort, considering he had a bogey at the short third and a double bogey 7 at the long fourth. Birdies at the long seventh and 17th were offset by bogeys at the short 15th and 18th. He is joint 81st.
