Ryan Fox from New Zealand has the lead heading into the second day after carding an opening round 67, four under par.

Padraig Harrington is the best of the Irish and one of six players just a shot behind Fox.

The Glashedy Links is providing a stunning backdrop to the event and the crowds have flocked to the Inishowen peninsula for the weekend.
