Nick Jones, fresh off his appearance at the 2024 PGA Butterfield Bermuda Championship, fired a solid 1-over par 72 to grab the first-round lead at the Gosling's Moongate Tour Championship at the challenging Port Royal Golf Course.
Jones, known for his steady play and local knowledge, navigated the demanding layout with precision. Jones holds a slim one-stroke advantage over a trio of talented golfers: Andrew Trott-Francis, Dwayne Pearman, and defending champion Oliver Betschart, all lurking close behind at 2-over par.
The chasing pack is tightly bunched, with Arriek Douglas and Kenny Leseur still within striking distance after opening rounds of 3-over par 74. Both players will be aiming for low scores in the final round to put pressure on the leaders.
