EUROPEAN SENIORS TOUR - Drummond starts well in 2008 opening event

Ross Drummond from Prestwick, who had a successful rookie year in 2008, is off and running in the new campaign for over-50s with a one-under-par 71, leaving him three shots off the pace in the early stages of the eighth DGM Barbados Open at Royal Westmoreland Golf Club.

Fellow Scots John Chillas, Martin Gray and Bill Longmuir are on the 74 mark.

A run of four consecutive birdies on the back nine helped Jamaica’s Delroy Cambridge pip his close friend Jerry Bruner of America to the clubhouse lead, on 68.

Ian Woosnam, playing in his first European Seniors Tour Event after turning 50 at the weekend, finished on level par after an up and down round of 72, which included birdies at the fifth and sixth holes and a triple bogey 7 at the ninth.
