England's Liz Young, looking for her first title, is one of two players on six-under-par after the first day of the Dubai Ladies Masters.

England's Liz Young has never won a European Tour title but she's in with a shout after the first round of the Dubai Ladies Masters. This helped her to par on the seventh...

And this helped her par the ninth, she was looking pretty standard at that stage but went on to make five birdies on the back nine to share the lead with Carmen Alonso.

The defending champion Shanshan Feng is one stoke back on five under, this was for a birdie on the seventh.

At the age of 52, Dame Laura Davies is also in contention for her 80th official tour title. She is on four under with Elisa Serramia.

In the race for the Rookie of the Year award, Emily Kristine Pedersen of Denmark boosted her chances with a round of 69.

She's in a group of nine on three under. So many here still very much in contention.
