Tommy Fleetwood was one of many who failed to cope with blustery conditions at the BMW International Open as Sebastien Gros carded a 68 to take an early lead
It was a difficult day in Germany with more than three quarters of the field being over par and not a single player avoided at least one bogey.
However, Gros' four-under 68 was enough to see him top the leaderboard heading into Friday's second round.
A shot behind Gros are Scott Jamieson, Arron Rai and Henric Sturehed and Spaniard Jorge Campillo, who bogeyed the final hole to leave Gros as the sole leader.
