World No. 7 Justin Rose sits just one shot off the lead after the first day of action at the 2015 Hong Kong Open, the European Tour's final event of the regular season.

The Englishman shot a five-under-par 65 on Thursday and is tied in third place behind leaders Lu Wei-chih, of Taiwan and Italy's Andrea Pavan.

Leading duo Lu and Pavan both showed impressive form to set the pace in Fanling. The Italian dropped just one shot throughout his round—on the the third—and four birdies in his last six holes saw him home in style.



Lu started poorly, picking up his own bogey on the third, but he then birdied four, five and six to reach the turn in 32.

Another bogey on 16 was rectified with a three on the par-four 17, meaning Lu and Pavan are the men to beat come Friday.
