(Reuters) - Surprise package Sebastian Cappelen looked right at home in his first ever PGA Tour event as he charged into a two-shot lead in Thursday's opening round of the $4 million (2.52 million pound) Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi.

Playing this week on a sponsor's exemption, the 24-year-old from Denmark took advantage of ideal scoring conditions with five birdies in his last nine holes to shoot a sizzling seven-under-par 65 at the Country Club of Jackson.
