Eklund had the fifth highest 1342 series on Pattern 1 and the field-best 1443 series on Pattern 2 to lead the men's division after day one with 2785 and an average of 232.08. Tore Torgersen (right), Norway, led the 16-men field after the first block with 1369 and added 1400 in the second block to sit in second place with 2769.

Robert Andersson, Sweden, was in third place with 2731 and was followed by 2008 EBT Masters champ Osku Palermaa, Finland, in fourth place with 2682.

Eklund, Torgersen and the Jensen sisters each received a 400 Euro bonus.

All players return on Tuesday morning for the final six-game block on combined oil after which the field will be cut to the top 8 men and the top 8 women, who will determine the champion in round robin match play.

The men's and women's champion will receive the 4.000 Euro top prize.
