You could expect the residents of the DP World Tour (European D1) to mark their territory on this first round of the French professional championship, they left the opportunity for four outsiders to finish in the lead with two blows ahead of the first pursuers. This is how Edgar Catherine, Toulousain, Paul Margolis, the Cannois, the young Landes with long teeth, Ohan Guillamoundeguy, and Théo Brizard, the Marseillais, made a beautiful card of 65, or 5 shots under par.
Station in Guillamoundeguy
The first offered himself six birdies for a single Bogey at 17, the second succeeded in an eagle at 14, four birdies for a single bogey at 10 and the third thief distinguished himself with an eagle in 2, six birdies, a bogey at 10 and a double bogey at 4. It must be recognized that Guillamoundeguy comes out of a big performance on a tournament of the DP World Tour with a 4th place in Emirates United Arab in mid-April. Paul Margolis, on the other hand, officiates on the Alps Tour (3rd division) and must be delighted with this convincing result. Théo Brizard relied on six Birdies for a single Bogey at 10. As for Edgar Catherine, he returns to competition after two years of stopping and he seems to have found all his sensations, whether in Driving and Putting, his big strong point.
With two small units, there is a gruppetto of four pursuers all more ambitious than the other in which we note the presence of Bordeaux, Grégory Bourdy. At 43, he hoped to reconnect with the highest level by winning his sesame on the European Tour during the end of the year qualifications. He demonstrated his level on this first day an intact desire to perform. It will therefore be interesting to follow your 2nd round this Friday (departure at 9:44 a.m.).
This second day will be synonymous with cut where only the first 40 will be qualified for the final of Saturday on the sumptuous course of the Golf Cabot de Bordeaux. We will then know the name of the new French champion, a very dear title to Bernard Pascassio.
