First round leaderboard:
Francesco Laporta played great golf today and at some point 59 was on the radar. Laporta, born in 1990, has two Challenge Tour titles under his belt, but he is still looking for his maiden title from the main tour.
Just like Laporta, Kalle Samooja is still looking for his first win from the European Tour. Samooja posted a round of 65 today and as a result shares sixth place at six under par.
