Lawrence, Cañizares share 2-shot lead at European Masters

CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Thriston Lawrence and Alejandro Cañizares shot 8-under rounds of 62 to share the lead after the first round of the European Masters in the Swiss Alps on Thursday. Lawrence chipped in for an eagle at his final hole, the par-5 ninth, after six birdies and no bogeys. Four players were tied for third, two shots back, in the bright sunshine and thin air at the Crans-sur-Sierre club where the course is covered with ski pistes in the winter. Matt Wallace, Louis de Jager, Eduardo de la Riva and Scott Jamieson all shot a 64.
