Bonjour and welcome to the first round of the South Pacific
Open Championship!

Beautiful conditions have greeted the morning field at the
Tina Golf Course. With not a breath of wind in the air scores are predicted to
be low.

The course record at Tina Golf Course is 9-under 62 and was
set by Theo Coroneo and Michael Wright in the first round of the 2013 South
Pacific Open. Both players are in the field again this week.

Looking to take advantage of the morning conditions and
shoot a new course record are some of the headline names of this year’s
tournament.

Here are the marquee groups we think will draw the crowds
today:

7.04am                 1^st           Ben Campbell (NZ), Brody Ninyette (WA),
Taylor Macdonald (QLD)

7.04am                 10^th         Tim Hart (QLD), Matthew Stieger (NSW),
Jared Pender (NZ)

7.16am                 10^th         James Nitties (NSW), David Bransdon
(VIC), Ugo Ottogalli (am)(NCL)

7.28am                 10^th         Daniel Popovic (VIC), Adam Stephens
(NSW), Florian Garnier (am)(NCL)

7.40am                 10^th         Matthew Millar (ACT), Matthew Guyatt
(QLD), Jean-Louis Guepy (NCL)
