Colin@scottishgolfview.comDefending champion Alan Lockhart (Ladybank) led at the end of the Gleneagles Scottish PGA championship's first round which was completed this morning over the King's Course.
Waterlogged greens ruled out play for much of the opening day.
Lockhart, pictured by Andy Forman, who has got married since he won the title last year, leads by one shot from the "usual suspects" - Chris Kelly (Cawder), Graham Fox (Rowallan Castle), Greig Hutcheon (Banchory), King's Links' Scott Henderson, Gareth Wright (West Linton) and Kenny Hutton (Downfield).
Overnight leader of the 15 scores completed on Monday, Jonathan Cliff (Murrayfield) comes next on 70, alongside Jason McCreadie (Buchanan Castle) and David Patrick (Elie Sports Centre)
