Scotland’s Scott Jamieson started on the back nine and fired eight birdies, one bogey and a double bogey at the par-4 1st to close with a 5-under 67 and take a share of the lead at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.
Jamieson has won once on the DP World Tour, at the 2013 Nelson Mandela Championship presented by ISPS Handa.
South African Casey Jarvis, who has won twice on the Sunshine Tour in the past month, eagled the par-5s 5th and 12th and made four birdies, one bogey and a double bogey at the par-4 9th to take a share of the lead.
Six players are tied in third place at 4-under, South Africans Herman Loubser, Dylan Frittelli and Brandon Stone as well as France’s Alexander Levy, Spain’s Manuel Elvira and American Ryan Gerard.
“The wind was howling and we had three rain squalls come through,” said Frittelli, the 2017 champion. “I was really happy to be under par today. But I’m also starting to learn this course.”
Play was suspended with five groups yet to complete their first rounds.
