Sweden's Johan Carlsson earned a one-shot, first-day lead at the 2017 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club in Surrey, England, as he carded a six-under-par opening round of 66 on Thursday.
A group of three players finished the day one shot back in a tie for second at the first-ever Rolex Series event, Francesco Molinari, Scott Jamieson and Kiradech Aphibarnrat all posting rounds of 67.
In a high-quality field, there are another nine competitors just two shots behind Carlsson on four under, including Ross Fisher, Branden Grace and Henrik Stenson.
