Defending champion Gwladys Nocera and French compatriot Jade Schaeffer carded five-under-par 67s to claim a share of the first-round lead at the ABN AMRO Ladies Open in Holland.

Cork's Claire Coughlan added a level par 72 to her opening 71 to lie four shots off the lead at the halfway stage of the LET Final Qualifying School at La Cala Resort in Spain.
