Golf: Pyman takes joint lead

IN ONLY his second European Tour event since turning professional, Iain Pyman, of Britain, is one of three players leading the Jersey Open after a six-under-par first round of 66 yesterday. Pyman was 46th in his first European event at Hamburg last weekend.

The South African Gavin Levenson and another Briton, Andrew Olcorn, joined Pyman in the lead at La Moye.

A triple bogey on the 18th cost the early leader, Mark James, a share of the first- round honours. He finished on 69, after six birdies and an eagle in the first 15 holes.
