"My game had improved so much over the last 10 years that I felt it was time for me to leave the type of business I was in," said McGrane, who has never won on the tour. "Now I feel I have something to prove -- that I made the right decision -- and I'm looking to crack that nut by winning."

Jean-Francois Remesy (67) of France, Simon Dyson (66) of England and Ireland's Peter Lawrie (64) are tied for second at 9-under 204.
