Olesen sets course record with 62 to lead at Tenerife Open

TENERIFE, Spain (AP) - Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen set a course record with a 9-under 62 Thursday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the Tenerife Open.

American John Catlin, the winner at the Austrian Open two weeks ago, had a chance for an even lower score after making 10 birdies on his first 13 holes. But he finished with three pars and two bogeys and settled for a 63. He was tied for second with three other players, including Garrick Higgo of South Africa, the winner at the Gran Canaria Open last week.

Sweden's Alexander Bjork and South African Dean Burmester also were a shot back.
