adri arnaus had a very good start to the tournament by signing on the first day of 79th Italian Openof european tour67 strokes, 4 under par, puts himself as co-leader in the clubhouse with the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy -his fine final sprint with an eagle and three birdies on the second nine holes- and the Malaysian Gavin Green.
In his fourth tournament on the circuit since the summer break after a dispute at the British Open in July -he finished 9th at the European Masters in Crans and missed two consecutive cuts in Denmark and the British PGA-, scored the Catalan had seven birdies for three bogeys.
He went out on the 10th hole and in these first 9 holes he signed five birdies for two bogeys, recorded a new bogey on the 1st and then scored his sixth birdie of the day on the 5th, missing the clear chance to win more shots on the Marco Simone course, which will host the Ryder Cup in a year, in 6 and 7 (15 and 16). However, he closed on 9 (his 18), par 5, sinking from nearly four meters for the seventh birdie of the round and the aforementioned 67 shot.
In any case, Moià caused quite a sensation on this par 71 course on a day with a lead and rain threatening for the afternoon session.
Other results by Spanish golfers: 73 for Carlos Pigem, and 74 for Pep Anglés and Adrián Otaegui, and 76 for Angel Hidalgo.
