PAUL DUNNE HIT the ground running with an excellent round of 69 on his PGA Tour debut.
The Greystones native sits on three-under par after day one of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, three shots off the leaders.
Playing on a sponsor’s invite, Dunne showed no signs of nerves as he opened with three birdies on the back nine before adding a fourth at the par-three third.
The only blip came at the next when he missed a short par putt and left with his only bogey of the day.
American pair Scott Brown and Andrew Loupe lead the way on six-under-par. Shane Lowry is on one-under after an opening round of 71.
