Davies continues fine form

Challenge Tour graduate Rhys Davies sparkled on the opening day at the Maybank Malaysian Open to share a one-shot first-round lead with Spain’s Ignacio Garrido.

The 24-year-old Davies, still buzzing after matching his career-high finish on the European Tour by claiming sixth in Abu Dhabi at the start of the year, blazed a flawless seven-under-par 65 at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.
