Luna starts brightly

Former winner Santiago Luna made a steady start in the Madeira Open.

The experienced Spanish competitor last won the event 11 years ago.

With a gusty wind blowing around the hilltop Santo da Sarra course he was one under after four holes.

Luna birdied the tricky par five third, where there is a dog-leg to the left.

Lee Slattery was hoping for a change of luck at the tournament after missing the cut in four of his last five events.

Like Luna he was one under after also getting a birdie at the third.
