Challenge Tour — Gavin Moynihan made the perfect start in his season-ending bid to win a European Tour card when he fired an immaculate five-under 67 to snatch a share of the clubhouse lead in the Hainan Open in China.
The Dubliner, 23, shares top spot with Rory Hie, Max Orrin and Matthew Baldwin at Sanya Luhuitou Golf Club as he battles to make the top 15 on the money list who will earn European Tour cards following next month's season-ending NBO Golf Classic Grand Final in Oman
Ranked 30th in the Road to Oman standings, he's €15,829 points behind 15th ranked Tom Murray in the race for the €47,539 top prize.
Moynihan birdied the second, third, seventh, ninth and 10th to race to five-under par before parring his way home.
The Hainan Open is the first of four season-ending events on the CHallenge Tour for Moynihan, who has made the cut in 12 of his 14 starts on the second tier tour this season, which is a vast improvement on 2016, when he made just three of nine.
