Two of Europe's veteran Ryder Cup stars -- Ireland's Paul McGinley and Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez -- climbed up to tie for fifth at 7-under 209.
The 45-year-old McGinley is playing only his fifth tournament since undergoing his seventh knee operation last December. Having missed two cuts and withdrawn from the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco because of fitness problems, McGinley had expressed doubts about his playing future. But after a flying start which saw him make five birdies in his first six holes, he finished with a 65.
Jimenez had a 69 and joined McGinley seven shots off the lead.
