Wall makes early progress

England’s Anthony Wall proved low scoring was not impossible at the Hilversumsche Golf Club by posting the lowest opening nine holes of the morning at the KLM Open in Holland.

England’s Anthony Wall proved low scoring was not impossible at the Hilversumsche Golf Club by posting the lowest opening nine holes of the morning at the KLM Open in Holland.

The Camberley 29-year-old fired a front nine of 30 with birdies at the second, fourth, sixth, eighth and ninth to shoot from level par to five under inside two hours.

Wall was still seven strokes behind leader Richard Green, who tees off at 2pm local time, but just one behind Ryder Cup hopefuls Ian Poulter and Paul McGinley, also afternoon starters.

They will have been encouraged by the start made by Wall as they seek to rein in Green’s significant advantage later today.

Wall’s run to the turn was one better than Australian Paul Marantz, who had four birdies on the front nine before he added a fifth at the 486-yard 12th and was four under after 15.
