Crue Elliott leads the way after the first round of the Faithlegg Ivobank PGA Europro Tour Championship at Faithlegg in Waterford.
A couple of bogeys and birdies on the front nine sent Elliott (Burnham Beeches) down the home stretch level - but he stepped up a gear to post birdies at 10 and 11, with two more back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 to shoot 68.
Nineteen year-old South African Darryn Lloyd (Toft Hotel GC) is one shot behind after also picking up four birdies down the back nine.
Tom Haylock (HES) looked set to be three under for the round but bogeyed 17 to drop to two under, where he is alongside Simon Robinson (The Wynyard Club) who eagled the second hole after starting on the tenth and went onto birdie the seventh after going down the back nine one over.
Completing the foursome at two under are Elliott Saltman (Aegon) and Lloyd Kennedy (Chelmsford GC), the latter the winner of Tuesday's Pro-Am.
There are eight players on one under, including Tyrone Ferreira, another South African who won the Zambian Open on the Sunshine Tour in March, Brian McElhinney (Team Ireland), the Irishman who won at The Shire London and fellow countryman Padraig Dooley (Cork GC).
Ian Keenan (Royal Liverpool) was three under going into the final two holes, but bogeyed 17 and double bogeyed the last to spoil his earlier work where he'd picked up five birdies - he's level for the first round along with a cluster of others.
Lorne Kelly (Pro Dream USA) also upset some early form with a triple bogey eight at the par five 13th after four birdies on the front nine which sees Kelly start the second round on two over.
