Casey joins Dredge in lead

A resurgent Paul Casey joined Bradley Dredge at the top of the Commercialbank Qatar Masters leaderboard as the Englishman took full advantage of ideal scoring conditions in Doha today.

Casey is improving with every round after a rib injury ruined last season and played the opening 13 holes of his third circuit of Doha Golf Club in a sparkling bogey-free six-under-par to join Dredge out in front at 10 under par.
