Frenchman Robin Sciot-Siegrist led by one stroke after shooting a round of 7-under 65. He opened his campaign on the 10th hole with a birdie and followed that with birdies on the 12th, 14th and 15th holes, besides his sole bogey of the round on the 17th hole.

He quickly recovered from the dropped shot with his fifth birdie of the day on the 18th. On the front nine Sciot-Siegrist had six quiet holes before closing the round with three consecutive birdies on the seventh, eighth and ninth holes.

Talwar started his day on the front nine and dropped a shot on the second hole and quickly recovered the shot with a birdie on the fourth and another on the seventh and turned in 1-under.

On the back nine back bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes ruined what looked like a promising opening to the week. Talwar managed to pull one shot back on the 15th, but dropped another on the 18th to close his round at one over par.
