Australians Nick Cullen, Jarryd Felton, Andrew Dodt and New Zealander Ben Campbell have registered five-under-par 67s to share the lead on the opening day of the Fiji International.
Of the quartet, Dodt was the only one to manage a bogey-free round on Thursday and he recorded birdies on the first, fifth and 15th as well as an eagle on the par-five 17th at Natadola Bay.
Fellow Australians Cullen and Felton had just one blemish, while Campbell dropped shots on the second and 13th but made seven birdies.
Matthew Griffin registered three birdies in a row and sits two shots off the lead, alongside Australian compatriots Maverick Antcliff and Stephen Leaney.
Ernie Els, a 28-time winner on the European Tour but whose last victory came five years ago, birdied his final hole to card a level-par 72.
