Trappel leads Mena Golf Tour opener

Austria’s Manuel Trappel shot four under par 69 to lead after round one of the Mena Golf Tour season-opening Royal Golf Dar Es Salam Open in Rabat, Morocco, on Saturday.

For Serghini, who won the 2014 Shaikh Maktoum Golf Foundation Award for being last season’s best Arab professional, it was a roller coaster round, which contained four birdies, three bogeys and one eagle.

Among the notables, England’s Joshua White, the winner of the 2014 Mena Golf Tour Order of Merit, shot one over par 74, while his compatriot 2013 Order of Merit winner Zane Scotland, who holds the record for most wins on tour with nine, settled for five over par 78.
