Tommy Fleetwood of England tied the course record with a 10-under-par 62 to take a one-shot lead during the Abu Dhabi Championship’s first round.
With this, the athlete said: “When you shoot a 62, obviously everything is going to have gone very, very well.”
Second-place finishers Dane Thorbjorn Olesen and American Johannes Veerman are separated by one stroke from Italian Francesco Laporta and the English trio of Tyrell Hatton, Paul Waring, and Laurie Canter.
In addition, Bob MacIntyre of Scotland finished at seven under, Rory Mcllroy of Northern Ireland finished at five under, and Alex Fitzpatrick, together with Matthew Jordan of England, finished at six under.
Mcllroy aiming for the win
To win a sixth Race to Dubai title, Mcllroy must place in the top two at Yas Links before the World Tour Championship in Dubai next week, which is the last tournament of the European Tour season.
