The PGA of Italy’s Lorenzo Gagli carded a superb blemish-free round of 66 (-5) to take a three-shot lead after Round 1 of the inaugural Lumine International Pro-Am. Gagli, who finished tied third in the PGAs of Europe’s Four-ball Championship earlier in the week, was once again in fine form at Lumine Mediterránea Beach & Golf Club. Watch interview highlights with Lorenzo Gagli - https://youtu.be/OHKa7XL62Tk “I am very happy with my round today,” explained Gagli.  “I played a solid round with five birdies and no bogeys, and I’m really happy with that.” On a day when only two players shot under par, the Italian made light work of the Lakes Course that had proved so challenging a few days previous. “The course is in very good condition, the greens are great and also the weather is a little bit different from the Four-ball, and so it is a little bit easier. “[Playing in the Four-ball has] of course helped because I have played two rounds [at the Lakes Course]… so I know the course a little bit better.  The two courses are great, and in fantastic condition… they are good designs. “I would like to win, but I have to think to just enjoy the week and play it shot by shot with my amateurs.” Gagli reached the turn in 33 (-2) after making birdie on the par-five 2nd and par-four 9th. Birdies followed on the 10th, 14th and 18th, to give him a three shot cushion over the rest of the 18 Professional-strong field.

The Team Pro-Am Competition is headed by the quartet led by PGA of France Professional Eric Colletta, with a stableford score of 91 points (-19). Playing alongside amateurs Pierre Fedrigo, Marc Olivier Faboumy and Didier Raoul, Colletta and his team have established a six-point lead over Team David Foley (PGA of Great Britain and Ireland). Making up the top three, and only one shot back, are Team Simon Williamson (PGA of GB and I). ------------------------   For more information about the PGAs of Europe, visit the Tournament Hub Page (http://eur.pe/2017Lumine), follow @PGAsofEurope on Twitter and search #LumineProAm, or like the PGAs of Europe Facebook Page.
