Englishman Adam Gee stormed into the lead after the first round of the Lexus Open in Norway and admitted he hoped it was the start of a successful run to the end of his European Challenge Tour season.
The 27 year old Londoner carved an excellent course record eight under par 64 from the Moss & Rygge Golfklub in Dilling to take a two shot lead over the Scandinavian quintet of; Oskar Henningson of Sweden, Denmark’s Jeppe Huldahl, Finland’s Antti Ahokas and two of the most exciting prospects of Norwegian golf, amateurs Anders Kristiansen and Are Friedstad.
Currently 86th on the Challenge Tour Rankings, Gee acknowledged he will need more of the same the rest of the week as well as in the two remaining months of the season if he is to move up and finish in the top 20 players who automatically receive playing privileges for The 2009 European Tour at the end of the year.
“I would describe my season so far as average which is a little bit frustrating,” said Gee, who is attached to The Wisley Club to the south of London. “I have played well enough in flashes but I just haven’t been consistent enough. I have started well in tournaments but haven’t kept it going – hopefully it will be a different story this week.
