GOLF: England's Benn Barham equalled the lowest round of his career yesterday to lead the Austrian Open in Vienna.

Needing to climb 60 places from his present 175th to save his European Tour card, the 33-year-old from Kent shot an eight-under- par 63 to finish the opening day one in front of Scotland's Scott Drummond and Australian Brett Rumford.

Warrington's Philip Archer is one shot off the lead after hitting a 65. COLLATED first round scores in the European Tour Austrian Golf Open, Fontana GC, Vienna, Austria (Gbr & Irl unless stated, par 71): 63 Benn Barham, 64 Brett Rumford (Aus), Scott Drummond, 65 Jean- Baptiste Gonnet (Fra), Richard Green (Aus). Selected Others: Phillip Archer, 67 David Horsey, Lee Slattery, 71 Nick Dougherty (pictured).
