Ramsay makes flying start in Turin

Richie Ramsay, who three years ago became the first Scot for 108 years to win the American amateur title, made a flying start at the Italian Open in Turin today.

Yet to register a top-20 finish on the European Tour, the 25-year-old from Aberdeen raced to the turn in a five-under-par 31 to lead by two from compatriot Alan McLean and Welshman Bradley Dredge.
