Round one report
In-form Joost Luiten made it a three-way tie for the lead
after the opening round of the Turkish Airlines Open - the sixth tournament of eight Rolex Series events on the European Tour - posting a bogey-free 64 to join Nicolas Colsaerts and Haydn Porteous at the top of the leaderboard Luiten finished runner up to Masters Champion Sergio Garcia in his last European Tour appearance in the Andalucia Valderrama Masters, and his game appears to be in good shape again after carding seven birdies at Regnum Carya Golf and Spa Resort today.
The Dutchman matched the earlier clubhouse target set by Belgian Colsaerts and South African Porteous, who had been in the first groups to tee of the first and 11th tees respectively.
Colsaerts eagled the 12th hole in his seven under par round of 64, while Porteous’s score owed much to a front nine birdie blitz, with the Czech Masters champion picking up five shots in his opening eight holes.
Three-time Major Champion Padraig Harrington is one shot back after a round of 65. The Irishman shares fourth place with BMW International champion Andres Romero, while Ryder Cup legend Ian Poulter is part of a four-way share of sixth place on five under par.
