Gavin Dear delivers positive start in Morocco
The Perth rookie, who won the Alps circuit's qualifying school late last year, carried that form into the opening event of the 2010 campaign yesterday with a four-under 68 in his first round.
Dear was seven-under for the tournament and three off the lead after nine holes of his second round when play was stopped for the day. Steven Hume, the only other Scot in the field, had to settle for a four-over 76.
