Dougherty no slouch on the course

Nick Dougherty awoke from a 17-and-a-half hour sleep in time to claim a share of the lead in the Scandic Carlsberg Scandinavian Masters in Malmo.

Dougherty carded a first round 67 at Barseback to join former Ryder Cup duo Andrew Coltart and David Gilford at the top of the leaderboard, one ahead of Korean teenager Kevin Na, Kiwi Stephen Scahill and Holland’s Maarten Lafeber.
