Alps Tour — Carton House’s David Carey had six birdies in a one under 69 to share 35th in the 2015 Open La Pinentina 45km north of Milan.

Scores

He's six shots behind England’s Matt Wallace, who leads by a shot on seven under after a super 63 featuring seven birdies and just one bogey.

Carey, who turned professional in April, made two cuts as an amateur when the tour was in Egypt in February. Those 13th and sixth place finishes gave him enough points to be 61st in the Order of Merit but he has missed the cut in his first four Alps Tour starts in the paid ranks.

EuroPro Tour — Simon Ward and Brian Casey shot level par 71s to head the Irish challenge but found themselves six shots off the pace in the GRENKE Championship
at Cumberwell Park.

England’s Steve Surry shot a six under 65 to lead by two strokes from Stuart Archibald with Warren Bennett and Marcus Armitage three off the lead after 68s.
