CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland – James Morrison shot a course-record 10-under 60 to lead by three strokes after the first round of the Omega European Masters on Thursday.
Starting in the first group at 7:40 a.m. at the scenic Crans-sur-Sierre club, the 36-year-old Englishman set a target no one could match on a sun-bathed day high in the Swiss Alps.
“The greens were just absolutely perfect this morning with no wind,” said Morrison, a two-time winner on the European Tour.
Morrison made nine birdies and an eagle, dropping just one shot at the par-4 18th hole which he played in his outward nine.
