Golf: Sam Torrance in pursuit of on-form Ruangkit
Former Ryder Cup captain Torrance and fellow Scot Bill Longmuir both opened with one-under-par rounds of 72 at The Links at Fancourt to lie amongst ten players in a share of sixth place.
Torrance was two over par after four holes but hit back with five birdies. However, bogeys on two of the three par-5s on the way in, including Fancourt's closing hole, cost him two shots.
Fellow Scots Ross Drummond and Martin Gray are a further shot back on level par but Ruangkit, chasing a third consecutive success, tops the leaderboard following a flawless 69.
