Super Dougherty leads the way

England’s Nick Dougherty remained at the top of the leaderboard at the Maybank Malaysian Open today after opening the tournament with a 10-under-par 62 at the Kota Permai Golf and Country Club.

With none of the players teeing off in the afternoon seriously challenging the sensational score carded by the 25-year-old earlier in the day, Dougherty maintained a two-stroke advantage over Simon Dyson and Australian Marcus Fraser, both of whom carded eight-under 64s in the morning.
