The green is a little bit slow and soft, but the course is always good.”Close behind the leader are Chile's Mark Tullo and Englishman Chris Lloyd, who are tied in second with two shots back on six under par.The Challenge Cup, held at Tseleevo golf course, is one of the country's biggest golfing events in Russia, with total prize money reaching 250,000 euro.
