Bransdon claims share of lead

David Bransdon gave his hopes of regaining a place on the European Tour a shot in the arm as he joined Joost Luiten at the top of the Indonesian Open leaderboard at the end of his opening round in Jakarta.

Australian Bransdon lost his playing privileges on the tour at the end of last season but made a fine start to the tournament at the Cengkareng Golf Club, carding a six-under-par 64.
