Five share lead in suspended Ballantine's Championship first round

Five share Ballantine's Championship lead

Five players share the lead after the first round of the Ballantine's Championship was suspended due to darkness.

Jean-Baptiste Gonnet, Kim Gi-Whan, Matthew Baldwin, Kieran Pratt and Johan Edfors all finished their opening round with a five-under 67, while Peter Lawrie and Jung Hwan Lee sit joint-sixth.

"It was good to put my name up right away, because I haven't played like this for more than a year," Fox News quotes Gonnet as saying.

Louis Oosthuizen is currently one shot off the place but has two holes left to play tomorrow morning before the second round is due to get underway.
