After all the drama this last 3 weeks watching Rory McIlroy competing in the US for the first time,we felt there wouldn't be much to report this week.We were wrong.
Last years winner of the China open,Damien McGrane proudly sits on top of the Leaderboard alongside Joakim Haeggman on 5 under par 66 in the Madeira Island Open.
Damien played in the worst of the weather and starting at the 10th he rolled in 5 birdies to turn in 31 shots.He bogied the 2nd,birdied the 3rd and having dropped another shot at the 5th,looked like he would finish behind Haeggman, until chipping in from a very dificult bunker shot for birdie at the last.
Ulstermen Michael Hoey and Michael McGeady are in joint 6th on 69.Johhny Caldwell who was Rory McIlroy's partner in the Walker cup had a bad day with 76 and Royal County Down's Simon Thornton had a miserable start, being 6 over par after 5 holes.
He never recovered and took a triple bogey 8 at the last for an 83.
