Lloyd Saltman leads by three in Spain

FROM THE SCOTSMAN WEBSITE
By NICK RODGER
Lloyd Saltman stormed into a three-stroke lead in round one of the Hi5 Pro Tour's Valle del Este Open in the Murcia region of south-east Spain yesterday.
The Archerfield pro, who is preparing for the European Challenge Tour season opener in Colombia later this month, fired a seven-under 64 to open up a commanding early advantage over Spain's Manuel Quiros and Englishmen Alex Belt and Matt Cryer.
Saltman, 24, reeled off seven birdies in a tidy round as the former Open silver medal winner took charge of the contest.
Saltman's older brother, Elliot, opened his challenge with a one-under 70 to share fifth but Zack, the youngest of the Scottish siblings, slumped to a bogey-ridden 87 and finished at the bottom of the standings.
