Hambrook's Licata is top after victory
He was the only player to match the par of 67, on a day of sunshine and showers, despite a quadruple bogey eight when he hit two tee-shots out of bounds on the fifth hole.
He opened with a birdie three and eventually repaired the damage with birdies at the 8th, 10th, 12th and 15th holes, making only one more bogey.
This brought a one-shot success over his Hambrook colleague Trevor Jones, and Filton's Daryl Kelley.
Jones, who lost the order of merit lead, dropped shots at the tough third hole after a wayward drive, as well as the 11th and 16th. He picked up shots at the 10th and 12th holes.
Kelley's round was a mixed bag to match the weather. He started with a triple bogey seven, but then reeled off four successive birdies from the fourth. He dropped three shots in his last seven holes for a 68, although he collected the birdie sweep money for his haul of six.
