Cornut leads in Moscow

Argentinian Cesar Monasterio briefly set the Russian Open clubhouse lead at seven under after a 68 but that was overtaken almost immediately by Frenchman Bernard Cornut after a 67.

Out on the course the share of top spot became a two-way affair despite Swede Mikael Lundberg momentarily seizing the advantage.

Lundberg birdied the sixth to go to 10 under but that was matched by Delagrange who picked up another shot at the 429-yard 13th.

Lundberg’s compatriot and playing partner Widmark also birdied the sixth but he had a bogey five at the ninth to turn in 38 at eight under for the tournament.

That left Webster, who reached the turn in 35, and Mason, who birdied the sixth to also turn in 35, one shot off the lead.
