Mallorca Golf Open R1

Marcus Armitage takes opening lead

Marcus Armitage opened with a flawless 8-under 63 to break the course record and take a one shot lead in the Mallorca Golf Open.

“I’ve had some great starts to tournaments this year and just not finished them off,” said the Englishman.

“It’s not been a bad season but it’s not been a great one so you’ve got your mind on getting into the DP World Tour Championship because then you have a chance to finish an average season fantastically.

“So it is in the back of my mind, if I can get a top result this week, maybe even a win, I can have a week off and rest and get out to the final tournaments of the season.”

The Netherlands’ Daan Huizing lies in solo second place having shot a bogey-free 64.

“My play was nice, but I’ve been playing well in recent weeks and just didn’t get much out of it. The way I started today wasn’t great, I hit it nicely but didn’t make the putts and then I holed out a wedge at the 17th and got it going from there.

“I hit a few more close, holed a few nice putts and at the end of the day you have to hole the putts, luckily I was able to do that today.

“Tee to green it’s been good for a while but last week at Valderrama I played great tee to green and I missed the cut, so I just managed to hole the putts. You know you need to do that to make a score and it was nice to get it going.

“I know I definitely need to do a bit more to keep my card, for sure. But at the end of the day it all comes down to forgetting about all of that and focusing on the next shot and your task. Just boiling it down to that, and the better you can do that the better you’re going to play.

“I was able to do that well and that’s got to be the same story going forward, put your head down, try and play as well as you can and continue that good stuff.

Spain’s Alejandro Cañizares, Denmark’s Rasmus Højgaard and Austria’s Lukas Nemecz share third place at 6-under.
