Scott Roy shot a two-over par 72 as he lived up to his billing as pre-tournament favourite in the PGA of Bermuda Championship.

Roy handled the windy conditions at Tucker's Point far better than the rest of the field, and holds a five shot lead going into today's second round.

Defending champion Dwayne Pearman and Derriek Douglas are tied for second after they shot seven-over par 77s, while Keith Smith is a shot further back.

Scoring is likely to remain high all week, and with heavy winds predicted for today and tomorrow, the winner is likely to be the player who does little more than survive the conditions.
