Young golfers Tushar Pannu and Mannat Brar turned in a matching six-under 67 to share the lead after the opening day of the AM Green IGPL Invitational Congo.
Pannu, 21, had five birdies, an eagle, and one bogey in his superb round, while Brar, 19, was bogey free for the day.
The AM Green IGPL Invitational Congo is the fourth leg of the Tour and this week is the third event in African Swing.
Tushar and Mannat shared the top spot, with Sukhman Singh, son of former top amateur Simarjeet Singh, shot 5-under 68, to lie sole third at the Par-73 Golf Club Lubumbashi.
Aman Raj, a multiple AM Green IGPL winner, shared the fourth place with Harendra Gupta, as they all shot 4-under 69.
Mannat is attempting to become only the second Indian woman golfer to win a mixed gender pro event.
