Contesting the event for the second time, O’Malley made a steady start to the tournament as he fired an even-par 72 on Thursday.
It had him in a share of 24th with 16 other golfers, including renowned American John Daly.
Through the front nine O’Malley played consistent golf as he dropped just one shot on the par-three eighth. He parred the rest of the holes.
O’Malley slipped to two-over with another bogey on the 10th, but he climbed the leaderboard with his efforts on the 12th.
He took three shots on the 459-metre hole to register an eagle.
O’Malley’s run back to the clubhouse included a birdie on the 14th and bogey on the 18th.
