Scott Jamieson leading the Open de Espana at Real Club de Golf El Prat – Golf news
European golfer Scott Jamieson posted a score of six under 66 at the Real Club de Golf El Prat to lead the Open de Espana.
The 27-year-old is on a hunt to acquire his first career victory as he is now in a very strong position.
This is the 11th tournament the 27-year-old is participating in. Just one stroke behind him are Romain Wattel, Pablo Larrazabal, Jeev Milkha Singh and Steve Webster.
The leader of the day Jamieson started off well as he made birdies on the 10th and 12th hole. With such a great start, the momentum broke down when he made bogey on the 14th hole. Another pair of birdies on the 15th
and 16th hole however put Jamieson right back on track. Making another birdie on the 18th hole, Jamieson made the turn at four under.
The last nine started positively as well. Jamieson made a birdie to be five under. Making a bogey on the fourth and a birdie on the fifth, Jamieson was still in control of his game. Making his last birdie of the opening round on the eighth hole, Jamieson
finished with a decent six under.
“I just hit the ball well. It was one of the easier 66s. I'm delighted,” Jamieson said. “If you can hole a couple putts and make some birdies on the par fives, you certainly have a chance. You’ve got to play well when you get the chance to tee it up. Hopefully,
I can get a win this week.”
The players in second place are not all that behind with just a margin of one stroke. Wattel actually took a share of the early clubhouse lead with Pablo Larrazabal after he made four birdies in his last seven holes. He said that he is really confident and
has worked a lot on his swing. Talking about the course, Wattel said its tough and one really has to be straight to do well on it.
The defending champion, Alvaro Quiros did not do so well as he made four birdies, four bogeys and one double bogey to finish with a two over 74.
