<p>SUTTON COLDFIELD, England — Matthias Schwab and Calum Hill, golfers without a European Tour title to their name, were the top two on the leaderboard after the first round of the British Masters at The Belfry on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Schwab led outright after making seven birdies in his 6-under 66 — five of them coming in a six-hole stretch from No. 16 after the Austrian started at the 10th.</p>
<p>Hill, from Scotland, shot a 67 as he looks to build on three top-12 finishes in his last five events on the tour.</p>
<p>Bernd Wiesberger was the biggest name in a nine-way tie for third place on 4 under.</p>
<p>Danny Willett, who is hosting the tournament this year at a venue that has staged the Ryder Cup four times, was a stroke further back.</p>
