Victor Riu co-leader of the Najeti Open in Saint-Omer after the first neck and neck with the Scottish Stewart Duncan and the Australian Daniel Gaunt.

The Saint-Nom-la Bretèche player made the perfect first round with a very good card of 65 (-6). Riu is three strokes ahead of Mathieu Decottignies-Lafon and Matthieu Pavon, tied for eighth.

Author of a faultless sprinkled with four birdies and an eagle on the par five of 9 for lunch, Victor Riu is on the upward slope after a start to the season considered too average for his taste with only one top 25, last week in Belgium.

Interrupted three hours after a violent storm, 19 millimeters of water fell in less than a quarter of an hour on the course. Thanks to the remarkable work of the gardeners, the game was able to resume its course after 180 minutes of waiting.
