David Law leads British Masters with European Tour back in action

Scotland's David Law is the first leader of the European Tour's restart.

The 29-year-old Scotsman fired a round of 7-under 64 at Close House to take the Day 1 lead at the Betfred British Masters. He opened with five pars, ripped off seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch from Nos. 6-13, and kept a clean card on his way into the clubhouse.

He leads by one over Oliver Fisher, Renato Paratore, and Garrick Porteous.

Ranked 470th in the world, Law missed four consecutive cuts on the European Tour before the COVID-19 pandemic sent the circuit into a four-month hiatus.
