Ireland’s James Sugrue is five shots off the lead after the first round of the Range Servant Challenge by Hinton Golf in Malmo, Sweden.

Starting his round off the 10th tee, the Mallow golfer and former British Amateur champion recorded six birdies in his opening round, though he will have been frustrated by four bogeys, including bogeys on 17 and 18, as he carded a 70, which left him two under.
