Golfer Daniel Hillier has bounced back from a slow start to sit tied for third, one stroke off the lead at the European Tour's Bahrain Championship

He's opened with a six-under par 66, largely thanks to four holes after the turn - carding a birdie, birdie, eagle and birdie.

Hillier was asked how he climbed the leaderboard after a bogey on his third hole of the day.



Hillier's already had three top-six finishes in the first four tournaments of the year.
