European Tour Golf: Ryan Evans leads Czech Masters

Ryan Evans leads the way after the first day at the Czech Masters, his six-under round of 66 seeing him top the leaderboard by one stroke.

The Englishman, searching for his maiden European Tour victory, carded seven birdies including one at the last to claim the outright lead, with a bogey on the par-four eighth his only blemish.

Evans, last man out on the course at the Albatross Golf Resort, was three under before dropping that shot, but a run of three birdies in the next four holes assuaged his disappointment before he picked up another gain on the 18th.
