Jerry Bruner’s love affair with Portugal continued as he shared the overnight lead with England’s David J Russell after the opening round of the Belas Clube de Campo Senior Open de Portugal, with the two European Senior Tour veterans carding for seven under par rounds of 65.
Bruner’s last Senior Tour victory came in Portugal in 2005 and, in his final season of a distinguished career, the American will be hoping that memories of that victory will spur him on to success at the sun-kissed Belas Clube de Campo, near Lisbon.
He certainly produced some magic in the first round at Belas when, after a birdie on the second hold, he shot an eagle two at the par four fourth when his 128 yard pitch flew straight into the hole.
“I hit a decent drive and I had 128 to the flag and I started swinging with a smooth nine iron but I had wind behind me and I knew that would cancel out some of the slope on the green so I decided to hit a good, strong pitching wedge,” said the 64 year old.
