(Reuters) - Australian Matthew Griffin moved into contention with an opening round three-under-par 68 at the Solaire Open on Thursday, his first event on the Asian Tour since overturning a suspension imposed by the circuit for playing on a rival tour.

Griffin was joined in the Philippines field by compatriot Terry Pilkadaris (70), who along with Dutchman Guido van der Valk and Malaysian Anis Helmi Hassan were suspended by the Asian Tour for refusing to pay fines imposed for competing in events on the rival OneAsia circuit.
