In fantastic weather the first round saw two clear leaders. In front with a fabulous 73 is Damir Babikov, who as defending Champion, has laid down a great foundation to retain his title.

3 shots adrift, and past winner, is Club Captain Geoff Cox. He holds a 4 shot gap over the rest of the field. It may be unwise to say it's a two horse race, but it looks like a two horse race. Full details are available via the Competition results and reports button.
