Longmuir, the leading British golfer on the Senior Tour Order of Merit in sixth place, benefitted from a recent lesson from Clive Tucker as he bounced back from two early bogeys to post a three-under-par round.

Des Smyth and Carl Mason are setting the pace, with former Amateur champion Gary Wolstenholme firing a 68 on his senior debut.
