Soaring temperatures matched by sizzling rounds from Miller, Ratcliffe

SCOTLAND’S Mike Miller and Australia’s Noel Ratcliffe hold a one-shot lead over Denis O’Sullivan after the first round of the Tunisian Seniors Open at El Kantaoui.

Miller and Ratcliffe carded five-under-par rounds of 67 in temperatures approaching 90 degrees to go into the second round one shot ahead of Craig Defoy, Denis Durnian, O’Sullivan and Steve Stull.

Miller was the first to make his mark on a day in which 31 golfers out of a field of 51 equalled or bettered par.
