Horne leads as Brits falter

Unheralded South African Keith Horne led the field at the Abu Dhabi Championship as the big-name British challenge stuttered on the first day.

Colin Montgomerie, the highest-ranked Briton in the field at nine in the world, compiled an unconvincing level-par round of 72 which did not back up his claims that he was in his best form for a decade.
