Fri 11 Nov 2008Smyth makes solid start in Spain
Des Smyth opened with a solid two-under-par 70 in the European Senior Tour's season finale the OKI Castellón Open Espana. The Drogheda mnative is four shots behind leaders Angel Fernandez of Chile and Italy's Costantino Rocca, who started the defence of his title with a flawless 66 that included an eagle three on the 13th hole.
Smyth posted four birdies and two bogeys at Club de Campo del Mediterráneo as he looks for a confidence boosting end to the season after deciding to concentrate on playing in Europe rather than America next year.
