Continuing his rich form, Jeev Milkha Singh played near-perfect golf and carded a flawless six-under 66 in the opening round to take the joint lead at the Asahiryokuken Yomiuri Asoiizuka Memorial Open Fukuoka, Japan, on Thursday.
The Volvo Masters champion was tied for the top spot with Ik-Je Chang at the Asoiizuka Golf Club.
The seasoned Indian pro was in fine form and started with an eagle on the par-five third hole before gaining another shot on the seventh.
Making the turn at three-under, Jeev hit successive birdies on the 10th and 11th and sank in another on the 14th to make a solid start in the 100,000,000 yen event.
Toyokazu Fujishima, along with seven others, followed the leaders, a shot behind.
