KELLETT LEADS IN STORMY CARIBBEAN, NICOL A SHOT BEHIND


Motherwell's Ross Kellett shared the lead  with a four-under-par 67 at the end of a weather-disrupted opening day on the Alps Tour event being held on Guadeloupe, a French colony in the Caribbean - the Open de Saint-Francois Guadeloupe at Saint-Francois Golf Club.
There was a lengthy suspension of play due to rain at one stage.
Kellett was five-under-par after only eight holes, of which he birdied the long first, the short second, the foufrth and short fifth. He parred the six and then birdied the seventh and parred the eighth.
A bogey at 9 saw him reach the turn in four-under-par 31. His second last bogey came at the long 12th but the Scot got his sixth birdie of the round at the 13th and then parred his way in from there.
On the resumption of play, Kellett was joined in teh lead by England's Jack Senior and Tom Sherreard and France's Thomas Linard.
Scottish rookie pro, Kris Nicol from Fraserburgh had a chance to make it a five-way tie on 67 but he double bogeyed the 18th for a 69.
