Nick Dougherty holed a 142-yard wedge shot for eagle Thursday on his way to a 4-under 66 and a three-way tie for the lead in the first round of the SAS Masters. England's Dougherty, runner-up in this European PGA event last year, was tied with Peter Hanson of Sweden and Pedro Linhart of Spain after a wet and windy round at the Arlandastad course north of Stockholm.
