Argentina out in front at Mission Hills World Cup

Argentina set the pace on the opening day of the Omega Mission Hills World Cup as Rafa Echenique and Tano Goya combined to post an 11-under-par 61 in the first round fourballs.

Echenique dominated the bogey-free partnership with an eagle at the heavily bunkered 15th and a fourth birdie of the day at the last following a 20-foot putt to open up a one stroke lead over Japan.
