Paraguayan golfer Fabrizio Zanotti shot a 5-under 66 to take a one-shot clubhouse lead over hometown favorite Sergio Garcia in the opening round of the Castello Masters on Thursday.
Zanotti, ranked No. 280, made five birdies in a row starting at the 11th hole and had just one bogey in his round.
Garcia had five birdies of his own on the back nine and was tied with South Africa's George Coetzee and England's Robert Coles at 4-under 67.
Defending champion Matteo Manassero shot a 2-under 69 despite a double-bogey at No. 15, while last week's Portugal Masters champion Tom Lewis recovered from a poor start and finished with a par 71.
Ryder Cup veterans Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal, along with Americans John Daly and Anthony Kang, teed off in the afternoon.
