Joel Moscatel and Víctor García Broto, both members of the Pro Spain Team of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, and Pep Anglés, the three from Barcelona, share the tightest lead in the Challenge of Spain, with 8 players in the lead, including 4 strokes under par , on the first day of competition at the RCG in Seville. Fellow ProSpain members Javier Sainz, Daniel Berna and seven-time DP World Tour winner Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño are just one shot away.
The Spanish Challenge was close to a course that tested the players’ ability, especially on the greens, “very typical of a DP World Tour tournament” as the players commented at the end. So, eight good players lead at 4 strokes under par: with the three Catalans, Moscatel, García-Broto and Anglés, the number 5 of the Challenge Tour, the Welshman Rhys Enoch, the 10th, the British Sam Hutsby, the Danish Jonathan Goth-Rasmussen, Finnish Tapio Pulkkanen and Welshman Jack Davidson, a representation of the best European golf in the first round of the Challenge in Spain.
Víctor García Broto, who played alone in the morning games, was accompanied by his coach Alex Larrazábal “in the bag, which is always a plus”, and was of great help to overcome the comeback that did not start. good
Joel Moscatel made six birdies and two bogeys and emphasized that “lucky Alberto (Calvo) was with the bag, an experienced caddy who gave me a lot of peace of mind. I had a good time, with good feeling and there’s still a lot left “But I’m really looking forward to what’s to come. I really like this field and it’s amazing.”
Pep Anglés said he was happy “because I finished with a birdie and make the end of the comeback sweeter. On the first day you don’t win tournaments but you can lose them. I’m a little cold because last season was very difficult and I played badly. I decided not to play for a while and now I’m back very quietly, taking advantage of the opportunities that the RFEG competition gives me.
One shot behind the leaders was Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño who posted a round of 69 strokes with three birdies and one bogey.
