Royal Dublin’s Brian Jnr McCormack and SQ Golf’s Steven Quinlan picked off 16 birdies and an eagle between them as they both posted rounds of six-under-par 67.
Waterville’s David Higgins was second on five under par with home club professional, Shane Jenkinson and Malahide’s John Murray sharing fourth on four-under par.
After reaching the turn in one under par 35, McCormack set the back nine alight with four birdies, an eagle and a bogey as he came home in five-under 32.
Quinlan matched the Royal Dublin professional score for score. Out in one under 35, he flicked the switch on the back nine collecting six birdies and a bogey to climb to the top of the leaderboard.
