Ricardo Santos reportedly claimed the first round at the Africa Open Golf Challenge at the East London Golf Club nine-under-par 62, inspite of windy afternoon conditions.
Post his round one win, Santos expressed his delight over his win, saying that he made nine-under in Madeira to win the event, but shot 63 there because the par was 72, adding that it was definitely one of his best rounds of golf so far.
The golfer scored an impressive nine birdies around the George Peck-designed course, Sports 24 reported.
Meanwhile, Garth Mulroy shared second alongside Rhys Davies, Lucas Bjerregaard and Richard Bland, two shots behind Santos.
