Tom Lewis, the two-time winner on the DP World Tour, leads the Challenge Tour’s Abu Dhabi Challenge after Day 1 of the inaugural event on Thursday.
Lewis, who triumphed on Europe’s top circuit in 2011 and 2018, fired an eight-under-par 64 at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, reeling off nine birdies and posting a solitary bogey to lead by one.
Fellow Englishman Joshua Grenville-Wood and France’s Julien Sale sit in joint second, with Ivan Cantero Gutierrez of Spain in solo fourth on 6-under.
A five-strong group, headed by DP World Tour winner Brandon Stone, shot opening 67s. “It’s obviously a great start,” Lewis said. “I haven’t shot a score like that around this course.
