British Masters 2016: Thursday Leaderboard Scores and Highlights

Four men share the lead after the first day of the 2016 British Masters, with Mikko Ilonen, Marc Warren, Tommy Fleetwood and Richard Sterne all playing rounds of five-under 66 on Thursday.

The course at Chandlers' Cross, Hertfordshire, England, played fairly quickly and gave plenty of the top stars on the European Tour problems, and the top 10 is filled with Englishmen who know the course well and used their local knowledge.

Several top players, including Danny Willett, have already dropped out of the tournament, so fans could be in for a shock winner after four days of action.
