 Tyrone Ferreira showed no sign of nerves on his professional debut by firing a bogey-free, six-under-par 65 to share the lead after the first round of the Joburg Open on Thursday. The co-sanctioned European and Sunshine Tour event at the par-71 Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club got underway in steady rain but that did not hamper Ferreira. The 20-year-old, South Africa’s number one amateur in 2007, birdied his second hole as a professional, a 490-metre par-five, to give his round immediate momentum.
