Ross Kellett had a 71, Paul Shields a 72, Jack Doherty a 78 and Jordan Findlay a 78 in today's first round of the European Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 event at Frilford Heath GC, Oxfordshire.
Canter gallops to Q-School lead
Englishman Laurie Canter galloped into the lead after the first
round of The European Tour's Qualifying School First Stage
Section D at Frilford Heath in Oxfordshire, while South African
Louis de Jager and Wes Homan of the USA share the lead in the
concurrent qualifier at Golf d'Hardelot.
Canter, a former amateur star, carded a seven under par first round
65 at the English venue to take a one stroke lead over Sean
Einhaus of Germany, while Canter's friend and former Walker Cup
player
Jack Senior was two shots further back in tied fourth place on four
under par.
Liam Bond, who led at the midway stage of the ISPS Handa Wales
Open at The Celtic Manor Resort in August, was in tied 17th place
after an opening round 71 while promising South African Brandon
Stone, who claimed a top ten finish in his professional debut at the
BMW International Open in June, carded a level par 72.
De Jager and Homan, meanwhile, both signed for six under par
rounds of 65 to lead at the northern French venue of Golf
d'Hardelot.
One shot off the lead were Frenchman François Delamontagne,
who has 207 European Tour appearances under his belt, and
Scot Paul Doherty, brother of Challenge Tour regular Jack,
who struggled to a 76 at Frilford Heath.
With 102 players taking part at each venue of the Section D
qualifiers this week, competition is fierce to finish in the top 24
and ties at both qualifiers, and thereby qualify for Second Stage.
