The Arcos Gardens European Challenge - Day 1
A near perfect golfing day with little or no wind encouraged good scoring for the first day of the Arcos Gardens European Challenge. Although fast and true greens gave some defence and stopped a really low score being returned.
The story of the day was Pedro Figueiredo from Portugal who was 6 under after 11 holes but after a double bogey, bogey finish on the tough finishing holes returned a 69.
Portugal lead the team event with a one shot lead over Germany and Maximilan Kramer leads the individual after a very consistent round of 68.
