New Zealand's Lynnette Brooky has opened a two-shot lead after the first round of the Spanish Open at Club de Campo at Salamanca.

Brooky shot a six-under par 66 to lead Spanish amateurs Tania Eloseguiand and Emma Cabrera.

Brooky managed seven birdies during the round and now wants a second Tour title to add to her win in the 1998 Austrian Open.

"I'm always consistent, but it's certainly time that I got win number two," she said. "This week, I've decided just to go for everything."

Scotland's Julie Forbes, runner-up in last week's Costa Azul Open in Portugal, headed the British challenge.

The 35-year-old went out in 38 but returned in 31 to lie three off the pace.

Forbes, whose only win was the 1994 Var Open in France, said: "I need a win, and I certainly feel I'm playing well enough."
