FOUR-WAY TIE FOR DESERT SPRINGS LEAD
Four
players share the five-under-par lead after the first round of the
HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour’s season-ending Matchroom Sport Tour
Championship at Desert Springs Resort in Spain.
Haydn
McCullen was the first to sign for an opening-round 67 and he was soon
joined in the clubhouse by Joe Dean. James Maw, winner at Hawkstone
Park, became the third player to reach five under and in the final group
of the day Curtis
Griffiths carded six birdies before dropping a shot at the last to make
it a quartet of leaders after 18 holes.
Five
players are just a single shot back on four under, including three of
the season’s previous winners; Richard James (Aberdovey Golf Club),
Jonathan Caldwell (Clandeyboye) and Chris Gane (Lefthandedgolf at
Silvermere).
Griffiths
(Wentworth) sits third on the Race To Desert Springs Order of Merit,
from which the top five after this week’s Tour Championship will earn a
Challenge Tour category for 2017. With £20,000 going to the winner in
Spain, all those
who had earned the right to play in the season closer know that a
victory could catapult them into the promotion positions.
For
Griffiths, a win isn’t a necessity and his strong start to the
tournament makes him a clear favourite to finish inside the top five.
Maw (Rockliffe Hall) lies seventh on the money list and would be
disappointed if a top five finish
at Desert Springs wasn’t enough to move up significantly up the
standings.
McCullen
(Delamere Forest) is searching for his first win of the season and will
have to find it if he is to earn progression to Europe’s second-tier
tour via the EuroPro.
Dean (Hillsborough Golf Club) is in contention to take home the Rookie of the Year trophy and began the week 11th on the Race To Desert Springs but needs a minimum of a top two finish to move into the Challenge Tour positions.
The
Matchroom Sport Tour Championship continues with round two on Thursday
before Friday’s final 18 holes, which will be filmed for a two-hour
highlights package to air on Sky Sports on Tuesday, November 1 and
networks worldwide.
