The ISPS Handa Vic Open is the 23-year-old’s first competitive golf event of the new year.

Played during the early hours of Thursday morning our time, Connor carded a bogey free round.

He picked up one birdie on his way to a -1 score.

Connor is part of a large Scottish contingent playing at the event , held over two courses - the Beach Course and the Creek Course.
