HARROGATE Golf Club’s John Parry was the highest-placed Englishman after the first day of the European Tour Nordea Masters tournament in Sweden.
The 24-year-old carded a four-under-par 68 to bag third place, just one shot adrift of leader, Sweden’s Alexander Noren.
Parry posted birdies on the first, ninth, 11th, 12th and 15th holes with his sole bogey being a six on the par-five 581-yard 13th.
