Former Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie headlined a strong line-up at the Surrey-based course, with Solheim Cup stars Georgia Hall and Charley Hull also featuring alongside a host of European Tour and Ladies European Tour regulars.

Detry topped the leaderboard after a seven-under 65 in hot and humid conditions, seeing the Belgian finish a shot clear of Steven Brown, Sam Broadhurst and Jake Brurnage.

Hall finished in a share of eighth spot after shooting 68 and Montgomerie was a further stroke back, while Sullivan posted a one-under 70 but co-host Waring was unable to feature due to injury.

Hull, who joined Inci Mehmet and Rachel Drummond in playing the event before heading to Moor Park to compete in the latest Rose Series Event, carded a level-par 73.
