Vilamoura (Portugal) (AFP) - Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts and Andy Sullivan of England shared the first round lead at the Portgual Masters on Thursday after early fog held up play at the par-71 Oceanico Victoria Golf Club on the Algarve coast.

Colsaerts, 32, was one of the early starters after a 55-minute delay and took advantage of a pair of eagles in a sparkling seven-under round of 64 to put the 2012 Ryder Cup winner firmly in contention.
