A young Frenchman ADRIEN SADDIER, making only his second start after he lost his full playing privileges after finishing 127th on The Race to Dubai last year and missed the cut on his only previous appearance in 2015 at the Joburg Open, leads the Trophee Hassan II.
He's shot an excellent -7 65, for a one shot lead over England’s Daniel Gaunt, who made bogey at the 18th for -6 66, and by 2 over George Coetzee who won 2 weeks ago in his home town of Pretoria and is at -5 67 as is Scotsman David Drysdale. Belgian Marcel Siem is in at -4 68..
Siem and Coetzee were not the only members of the field with Augusta on their minds, with Alexander Levy, Andy Sullivan, Tommy Fleetwood and Ross Fisher all having chances to move into the top 50 before Monday's deadline.
Fleetwood and Fisher both need to win, but the latter got off to a terrible start with two double bogeys in his first three holes and carded a +5 77 which was matched by defending champion Alejandro Cañizares.
Fleetwood shot -2 70, Levy went round in E 72 and Sullivan +2 74.
