Indian golfers Manu Gandas and Shubhankar Sharma struggled in the first round of the Omega European Masters and were placed tied 68th and tied 122nd respectively.

Gandas had four birdies but also gave away three bogeys in his card of 1-under 69 at the Par-70 course. He needed a good round to make the weekend at Crans Montana, one of the most iconic golf courses on the DP World Tour.

India's star player, Sharma, had an off day as he finished at 2-over 72 in the first round and needed a very low round to make the cut.

Sharma was 2-under through his first nine after starting from the 10th as he birdied the 15th and 16th, but there were four bogeys on the second, third, fifth and ninth on his second nine.
