The 22-year-old rookie, who qualified for the British Open in 2023 as an amateur, carded a six-under 65 to end the day one ahead in a three-way tie at Regnum Carya. Two shots behind was *********** Daniel Gale, who enjoyed his own hot streak, carding five successive birdies between the 11th and the 15th holes to finish with a four-under 67 in joint-sixth place. Christensen was not the only ‘Tiger’ in contention, however, as that is also the middle name of South African Robin Williams who joined the ******* youngster and France’s Martin Couvra on six under after he birdied five of his first 10 holes. Christensen, who turned professional in November after coming through Q-School, was making only his third start on the European Tour, having missed the cut and finished 71st in his previous two. “I stayed patient all day. The front nine I didn’t get it close enough to the hole and then made a good one from the fringe on 10 and hit it really close on 11,” Christensen said afterwards. “I definitely enjoy these tournaments a lot, I’m happy to be here and take advantage as best I can.” The other *********** in the field, Danny List, had a solid start, finishing on two under to lie in joint-24th position.
