Rozner took the lead on home soil

France’s Antoine Rozner fired solid 65, -6 during Open de la Mirabelle d’or first round. The Parisian had 5 birdies, one eagle and dropped one shot on the last hole to lead by 2 shots over a group of 3 compatriots, Maxime Radureau, Léonard Bem and Julien Brun.

« I am really happy with my day, I played really well. I stroke the ball very nicely, I think I only missed one green. On front nine, I really took my chance while playing without wind, I put myself quickly in the ‘birdie mood’ as I was 4 under after 5 holes, so it really launched me in the round. I managed to keep the pace and I holed for birdie on pars 5 on back nine. I would like to keep this momentum tomorrow but not being to aggressive for the moment. I have been putting well these past days so I’d like to take advantage of it this week.
