Russell reined in

Scotsman Raymond Russell’s hopes of topping the leaderboard after the first day of the KLM Open in Holland were dealt a blow after he was overtaken by Austria’s Markus Brier and Dutchman Guido van der Valk.

Russell was first man out at 7am and posted the score everyone had to beat with a three-under-par round of 67 with six birdies and three bogeys.
