England's Holly Clyburn earned a two-shot lead on the opening day of the Australian Ladies Classic in Bonville.

The 27-year-old hit five birdies on her way to setting a new course record, ending the day on a five-under-par 67.

Iceland's Valdis Thora Jonsdottir and Spain's Marta Sanz Barrio were her nearest challengers on three under par.

"It was probably the worst I could have shot, but I wasn't getting greedy because it's not an easy golf course," said Clyburn.

Clyburn's compatriots Laura Davies and Florentyna Parker both shot 71 to lie four shots off the lead.
