European Open: Lacroix and Vaillant in the running in Germany

There are eleven French people who traveled to Germany for this DP World Tour event. Among them, Tom Vaillant and Frédéric Lacroix take out the best tricolor cards of 70 (-3), which places them 6 moves behind the leader. The one who has already had the chance to play the Masters, Julien Guerrier, returns with one more shot than his compatriots; Then comes another Frenchman who set foot on the Augusta course, Romain Langasque at -1 just like Jeong Weon Ko.

Clément Sordet is in par while Adrien Saddier and Antoine Rozner find themselves at +3. Ugo Coussaud has a bad first round of the European Tour with a 78 (+5) while Mike Lorenzo-Vera is in the tough with his 82 (+9). David Ravetto was unable to complete his first round, like many other players in the competition due to the course being flooded. The Frenchman is +4 after 15 holes.

Best De Bruyn signed card

Jannik De Bruyn signs the best card of the first round: 64 (-9) thanks to his 11 birdies and his two bogeys. The German will start the second day of competition with four strokes ahead of his pursuers Jack Davidson and Laurie Canter (-5). A superb performance since, during the last European Open, only 4 players played below -6 in each of the 4 tournament rounds. Jannick De Bruyn did it on his first nine holes. A competition which also marks Søren Kjeldsen’s 700th appearance in a DP World Tour event.
