Simon Dyson shares lead at Russian Open

Simon Dyson has shot a five-under-par round of 67 to earn a share of the first-round lead at the Russian Open.

The 35-year-old Englishman navigated Tseleevo without blemishing his scorecard, picking up birdies at holes four, eight, 10, 13 and 15.

He is joined at the top of the leaderboard by Rikard Karlberg of Sweden and China's Liang Wen-chong, but hot on their heels are a group of four players on four-under-par, including Matthew Baldwin and James Morrison.

Italy's Alessandro Tardini and Javier Colomo of Spain are also tied for second place after carding 68 for their first round.
