Former world No 1 Adam Scott enjoyed a trip down memory lane with an opening 65 in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Contesting one of the European Tour's flagship events for the first time since 2006, Scott carded eight birdies and a solitary bogey to finish seven under par, a shot behind clubhouse leader Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
Playing partner Justin Rose, who needs to win to qualify automatically for the Ryder Cup, was three shots off the pace after a 67.
