Murray And Laporta Take Route 66 In Kazakhstan

Tom Murray and Francesco Laporta both
carded scores of 66 to share the lead after
the first round of the Kazakhstan Open.



Making the initial move at the Almaty event
was England’s Murray, who bagged seven
birdies and one bogey to set the
clubhouse target at six under par after the
first morning at Nurtau Golf Club.


Italy’s Laporta proved to be the pick of the
afternoon starters, making six gains
during a
blemish-free round which also took him
to pole position after the first day in
Kazakhstan.


But with 22 players within two shots of
the lead after the first round at the
lucrative tournament – which has the
largest prize fund of the season on the
European Challenge Tour – Murray
admitted he will have a fight on his hands
to stay on top
for the rest of the week.
