Fantastic start for Oosthuizen in Qatar

Desert expert Louis Oosthuizen defied the elements to set a blistering pace on the opening morning of the Commercialbank Qatar Masters.

The South African, who finished fifth in Abu Dhabi last week after claiming a runner-up spot at Doha Golf Club last year, reached the turn in blustery conditions in a bogey-free five-under-par to establish a two-shot lead over Robert Karlsson.
