England’s Johanna Head made a welcome return back to Europe with an enjoyable and solid opening 68 to share third place with Becky Morgan from Wales.
And five players share fifth place on three under including Lora Fairclough from England, Australian Jane Leary, Marieke Zelsmann from The Netherlands, Liselotte Neumann from Sweden and Spain’s Paula Marti, who bogeyed the final two holes for her 69.
