Markus Brier shot a 67 to finish two shots off the pace at 203. Spain's Carlos Rodiles was at 204, while countrymen Santiago Luna and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano shared fifth at 205.

Garcia seeks his second European Tour title in his native country.

"It was a really difficult day," said Garcia, a four-time winner on the European Tour. "The wind was blowing really hard at times and it was definitely good to get it going a little bit with a few birdies."

Khan earned his first European Tour title earlier this year in Wales.
