Four players share the lead in Prague after the first day of the 2018 D+D Real Czech Masters. John Daly, Thomas Pieters, Callum Tarren and Gavin Green opened the tournament with round of 8 under 64. A group of five players, including Nacho Elvira and Lee Slattery is only shot behind at 7 under. The short weather suspension due to thunder storm didn’t affect the playing conditions at all and 109 players played the course under par in the first day of the tournament.
