Peter Gustafsson continued his love affair with Colombia after posting a four under par round of 67 on the opening day of the Abierto Internacional Cope Antioquia, the second event of the 2011 Challenge Tour season.
The experienced Swede has an impressive record in the event, having won the inaugural edition in 2009 before it formed part of the Challenge Tour Schedule, and finishing in fourth place at last year’s event.
Gustafsson’s round of 67 featured six birdies and two bogeys at the par 71 Club Campestre La Macarena near Medellin, in Colombia.
The 35 year old trails the current clubhouse leaders Alvaro Pinedo of Colombia and American Will Wilcox by one stroke after both men compiled early rounds of 66 at the US$230,000 event, which is being co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour and the Tour de las Americas.
Other players making an early impression near the top of the leaderboard include Pinedo’s fellow Colombians Alvaro Jose Arizabaleta and Diego Vanegas, who signed for respective rounds of 67 and 68.
