Tano Goya Leads with Opening 65

Argentine Tano Goya shot a seven-under par 65 to lead by one stroke after the first round of the Moravia Silesia Open on Thursday.

The 21-year-old was ahead of Britons John Bickerton and Steve Webster at the Prosper Golf Resort as the European Tour returned to the Czech Republic for the first time in 12 years.

Goya, who claimed his first European Tour win at the Madeira Islands Open in March, got off to a fine start as he started on the back nine holes and breezed through them in 30 strokes.

“I was always on the green for a birdie chance,” he told the Tour’s official web site after a round that included six birdies and one eagle.

“If you aren’t on the greens here with the slopes it is difficult… The key was hitting the greens.”

Miguel Angel Jimenez, among the favourites at the event in the Czech north-east, was off the pace on one-under par.

The Spaniard helped design the layout and is aiming to become only the second golfer to win a Euro Tour event on a course he designed.

However, his first-hand knowledge of the course failed to provide an advantage on the first day.

“I missed a few shots in the last few holes,” Jimenez said. “Anything under par is good. If I could have birdied a few more it would have been better.”

The Ryder Cup player finished joint 13th at the British Open Championship in Turnberry earlier this month.

European Tour rookie Chris Wood, who was third at The Open, also slipped off the pace in Celadna at one-under-par.

Since its launch in 1997, Golf International has forged a reputation as the standout quality title in golf publishing. The caliber of columnists, writers, players and coaches is unrivalled, while the design and layout of the magazine separates it still further from the competition. In a congested market wrought with mediocrity, Golf International appeals to committed golfers who are as serious about their game as we are about ours.

The ethos behind Golf International is simple: our aim is to entertain, inform and educate our readers with a wide range of fresh and original editorial. Peter Alliss, Ian Wooldridge, Colin Callander, Tom Cox, Paul Mahoney, Clive Agran and John Huggan are listed among our regular columnists. Other notable contributors include Paul Trow and David Davies. We are particularly proud of our association with the teaching staff of the DLGA, who, under the guidance of the world’s No.1 coach – David Leadbetter – provide some of the finest instruction you will find anywhere. Monty’s coach, Denis Pugh, is another regular contributor, as is leading European Tour coach, Peter Cowen, and one of the world’s most innovative instructors, Robert Baker. The popular Senior Tour player, Tony Johnstone, has also made Golf International his literary home.

With the generous and on-going support of Volvo Car UK, we are committed to developing our Amateur pages, featuring regular profiles, interviews and tournament news from both the men’s and women’s amateur game. Another innovation has been our Business pages, which provide the magazine with a unique angle on business-related stories, along with regular features from our resident experts on golfing memorabilia (Kevin McGimpsey), betting (Jeremy Chapman) and motoring (Anthony ffrench-Constant). We hope you enjoy the magazine and invite you to be a part of our continued success.

With a new distribution partner – Comag – in place from the August ’06 issue (and already delivering a significant increase in newsstand sales), we will be raising our game in the retail sector while at the same time consolidating our position as the premium title in the air and selected-sponsorship sectors.
