World champions France are the first-round leaders in the European Nations Cup (formerly the Sherry Cup) men's team tournament at Sotogrande.
France have hardly any of the line-up that won the Eisenhower Trophy available now in the amateur ranks but the next generation are not doing too badly.
The French best three from four team total for the first day was 211.
That gave them a one-shot lead from Spain, Austria and Ireland for whom Dermot McElroy top-scored with a 69, supported by Alan Dunbar's 71 and Paul Cutler's 72. Rory Leonard was their non-counter with a 79.
Scotland have made a satisfactory start, sharing fifth place on 214 with Germany.
Ross Kellett was back in form with a 69, one ahead of Philip McLean. Scottish champion Michael Stewart won't have been happy with his 75 but it had to be counted as Kris Nicol had a 79.
England, defending champions, certainly won't be happy to be in seventh place on 216 with a pair of 71s from Walker Cup candidates Laurie Canter and Jack Senior. Tom Lewis had a 75 and Andy Sullivan the non-counting 75.
Wales are down on 223 alongside Holland with a 72 from Oliver Farr their best score. James Frazer had a 75 and both Rhys Pugh and Rhys Enoch had 76s.
