India's Anirban Lahiri got off to a flying start on his tournament-debut, firing eight birdies in a blemish-free opening round to grab a share of the lead at the PGA Tour's Career Builder Challenge in partnership with Clinton Foundation in La Quinta.
India's Shiv Kapur battled to a two-under-par 70 for tied 13th place at the half-way stage of the US$7 million CIMB Classic on Friday, knowing that he needs to shift into high gear to emerge as a legitimate contender. The 31-year-old, who holds one Asian Tour title under his belt, carded three birdies against a lone bogey at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club's West course where his two-day aggregate of five-under-par 139 left him eight shots behind leader Keegan Bradley of the United States.
