Atzenbrugg (Austria) (AFP) - France's Gregory Bourdy, looking for a first European Tour title in two years, carded a seven under par to grab a two-shot lead after the first round of the Austria Open on Thursday.

The 33-year-old's last title came in Wales in 2013 but he looked in convincing form at the Diamond Country Club with seven birdies for a 65 in perfect playing positions.
