Johl leads in Hong Kong

Little-known Indian Amandeep Johl out-shone the stars to claim a one-shot lead after the first round of the Omega Hong Kong Open at Fanling.

The 33-year-old, a lowly 214th on last season’s European Order of Merit, fired a six under round of 63 on a day when players struggled to make the kind of impact which had been expected over the short par 69 course.
