Chesters, of Hawkstone Park, carded a first round 70 at Le Golf National, the venue for Europe’s Ryder Cup victory in 2018.
That left the 30-year-old one under par and in a tie for 35th place – but he would have been on the coattails of the leaders but for dropping shots on the 12th, 13th and 14th.
Former Shropshire & Herefordshire junior Aaron Rai finished one over but still in with a good chance of making the weekend.
Ryan Fox and George Coetzee finished day one tied for the lead after both carding six under par 65s.
