Green, Storm share European Tour lead

PARIS, June 30 (UPI) -- Richard Green and Graeme Storm both shot a 6-under 65 Thursday that gave them the first-round lead of the French Open.

Storm is seeking his second title at this event in four years. Green, who has yet to finish among the Top 10 on the European Tour this year, had the lead by himself until he bogeyed the par-4 17th.
