Robin Dawson reported that he was level par on the 12th tee with team mates Paul Flynn and Christopher Butler "a couple over after nine."
Italy's Parco di Roma, highly fancied for the title with a combined handicap of almost plus 15 with Renato Paratore leading the way, were "going great" according to international Dawson.
However, the weather forecast is not good.
@IrishGolfDesk that's not the best though😷 giving snow for Saturday so it'll probs be only one round by the looks of it!!

Web.com Q-School — Stephen Grant and Fergal Rafferty need low final rounds to make it though the First Stage of the Web.com Q-School in the US.
Former footballer Grant shot a one under 71 at St. Johns Golf & Country Club in St Augustine in Florida to share 47th spot on two over.
The top-32 and ties qualify for the Second Stage which means that Grant is four strokes outside the qualifying mark entering Friday's final round.
At Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Champions in Beaumont, California, Dungannon's Fergal Rafferty is tied for 50th after a four over 76 and five shots outside the top-30 and ties who will progress there.
