Lee Westwood leads the field after shooting an impressive six-under 65, despite starting with a double bogey.
Kevin Chappell joins the Englishman on six-under thanks to a round of six birdies and no bogeys.
Ryan Palmer is also in a tie for the lead after coming home in five-under-par, after he went out one-under.
