Rookie Jamieson leads field in Spain

SCOTLAND’S Scott Jamieson, playing just the 11th European Tour event of his career, tops the leaderboard after the first round of the Spanish Open in Barcelona.

The 27-year-old Glasgow native shot a very impressive six-under-par 66 at El Prat to end day one ahead of England’s Steve Webster, Indian Jeev Milkha Singh, France’s Romain Wattel and Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal respectively.

Already with two top-10 finishes this season after graduating from the Challenge Tour, Jamieson grabbed eight birdies and would have been clear out in front but for bogeys at the 14th and fourth.
