Singh on song in WorldCom Classic

13 April 2012

Vijay Singh fired a six-under-par 65 to claim a share of the first-round lead at the WorldCom Classic at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.  

The Fijian fired a bogey-free round to finish alongside American duo Doug Dunakey and Billy Mayfair, who both registered seven birdies and one bogey.

One shot back in a group of nine were Tommy Armour, Greg Chalmers, Rocco Mediate, Dudley Hart, Tom Lehman, Brad Elder, Mark Calcavecchia, Billy Andrade and Mark Brooks.

Sweden's Jesper Parnevik led a strong European challenge on three under in joint 21st.

Just one shot further adrift were in-form German Bernhard Langer, Denmark's Ryder Cup star Thomas Bjorn and Australian legend Greg Norman.

England's six-time major winner Nick Faldo fired a 70 alongside Ireland's Padraig Harrington but Spanish sensation Sergio Garcia had to settle for a 72.
