Golf: Kiwis start poorly at European Open

Michael Campbell and Mark Brown have had disastrous opening rounds at the European Open at the London Club in Kent.

Campbell is near the tail of the field after a five over par 77, while Brown is only slightly better off after a three over par 75.

Fellow New Zealander Gareth Paddison is marginally better placed after a one over par 73.

However, Paddison still a way off the pace set by England's Ross Fisher, who has fired a scintillating nine under par 63.
