Lloyd Saltman leads
The Archerfield pro, who is preparing for the European Challenge Tour season opener in Colombia later this month, fired a seven-under 64 to open up a commanding early advantage over Spain's Manuel Quiros and Englishmen Alex Belt and Matt Cryer.
Saltman, 24, reeled off seven birdies in a tidy round as the former Open silver medal winner took charge of the contest. Saltman's older brother, Elliot, opened his challenge with a one-under 70 to share fifth but Zack, the youngest of the Scottish siblings, slumped to a bogey-ridden 87 and finished at the bottom of the standings.
