Seville: Jyoti Randhawa and Shiv Kapur had a rather unhappy start with rounds of 73 and 77 in the opening round of the Open de Espana at the Real Club de Golf.
Randhawa’s 73 placed him tied 75th here on Thursday while Kapur’s 77 placed him 133rd -- and he was in danger of missing the cut.
Argentina’s big-hitting Ricardo Gonzalez made a superb return to the venue where he won the 2004 Open de Sevilla. The 40-year-old fired a seven under par 65 to lead former English amateur champion Paul Waring by one after the first round.
Waring has yet to record a top five finish since coming through the 2007 Qualifying School, but a month ago in Malaga he knocked four strokes off his best round on The European Tour with a 62.
The group in third place on four under includes England's Simon Dyson and Spaniard Alvaro Quiros, both back in action three weeks after missing the cut at The Masters Tournament.
