GROUNDED GERMAN FLORIAN 

FRITSCH LEADS WITH A 64

EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
Florian Fritsch flew into an early lead in the Norwegian Challenge after shooting a sensational round of 64 at Miklagard Golf Club.
The German, whose fear of flying forces him to drive across Europe to tournaments, went out in 32 and raced home in the same number of strokes to set the pace on eight under par, one shot clear of the French duo of Benjamin Hebert and Guillaume Cambis, who made a hole in one for the second week running.
