Golf: Japanese 'Tiger' shining bright

Toru Taniguchi, known as the ‘Japanese Tiger’, emerged as the surprise leader midway through the Nissan Open in Pacific Palisades, California.

Playing in his first PGA Tour event of the year, the 34-year-old carded a four-under-par 67 at the Riviera Country Club to open a one-stroke lead over a quartet of players.
