DOHA, Qatar -- George Coetzee of South Africa needed just 21 putts to shoot an 8-under-par 64 for a one-shot lead on the opening day of the Qatar Masters on Wednesday. Coetzee eagled the par-5 10th hole and birdied his closing three holes in a round that was just two shots more than his best on the European Tour, a 62 which equalled the Old Course record at St. Andrews in Scotland 15 months ago. "I was quite lucky to get away with a few shots," he said. "Theres a lot of luck involved in this game, especially the way I play, and I had 21 putts with a three-putt, so that goes to show." On 7 under were Dawie Van Der Walt, among five South Africans in the top 13, and Steve Webster of England, who began in spectacular manner by holing a 254-yard, 5-wood second shot for an albatross at his opening hole, the 548-yard, par-5 10th. There were only two spectators around the green, and one of them was jumping up and down and pointing in a downward motion. "I didnt know whether he was inferring it had gone over the back of the green and onto rocks, but then when I got up there he starts clapping," Webster said. "Ive never been 3 under after one hole before, so it was all a bit strange after that. You start thinking is this my day, or have I had all my luck on the first?" It was the second albatross in three events this year, whereas there was just one on the tour in 2013. Webster, who celebrated his 39th birthday last Friday, picked up five birdies over his next 12 holes to lead on 8 under, then dropped a shot at his 15th. Four players were in fourth place on 6 under, while the former British Open-winning trio of Ernie Els, John Daly and Scotlands Paul Lawrie were among a group at 5 under. Els ended the first round in his 25th anniversary pro career season holing a 35-yard bunker shot on 18 for eagle. "That was a dream finish, thats always going to put a smile on your face," said Els, the 2005 Qatar winner. "I played quite nicely all day but didnt quite get my share of putts, so that bunker shot at the last really made up for everything." Lawrie also had an eagle, on the 16th, while Daly birdied his first three holes and two of his closing three. "Ive started off this year putting really, really well, and just made three bombs to start with today," Daly said. "But I just got into trouble a couple of times with the driver, so it was my putting that kept me in there." Henrik Stenson bounced back from missing the halfway cut last week in Abu Dhabi with a 68. U.S. PGA champion Jason Dufner, competing in Qatar for the second year running, carded 70. A 30-minute delay due to fog at the start of the day meant three players were unable to complete the round due to darkness. OG Anunoby Jersey .

Canada was placed in one of the easiest groups during Saturdays live televised draw in Montreal.CONCORD, N.C. - Goodyear has warned teams that increased speeds at Charlotte Motor Speedway will put a heavy emphasis on the right front tires in Saturday nights race a€” a potentially key development for drivers trying to advance in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.Stu Grant, general manager of worldwide racing for Goodyear, said Friday the tire manufacturer provided durability guidelines a day earlier for teams to use in their preparations.They have got to be aware of the additional load that that speed puts on that right front tire, Grant said. The air pressures that you ran in May may not be sufficient to carry the load on that right front this weekend because theyre running half a second faster than the track record. ... its important that as these guys set their cars up that theyre aware of the additional camber gain youre going to get with the additional load and you need to watch that air pressure because its got to be sufficient to carry that load.Kurt Busch set the track record in Thursday qualifying with a lap at 198.771 mph. It broke Denny Hamlins record of 195.624 set in 2013 and was the fastest lap ever recorded on a 1.5-mile track. Buschs speed was also almost 4 mph faster than the lap Jimmie Johnson turned to win the pole in May.Although the pace of Saturday nights race will slow compared to qualifying speeeds, Goodyear felt teams needed to be informed, particularly after championship contenders Dale Earnhardt Jr.dddddddddddd and Brad Keselowski both blew right front tires last week at Kansas and are in danger of being eliminated from the Chase.Keselowskis tire went back to North Carolina from Kanas with Team Penske, and was received by Goodyear on Thursday for further analysis at its Akron, Ohio, facility. Goodyear does not have Earnhardts tire because Hendrick Motorsports was doing its own examination and had yet to ship it to Akron.Goodyear officials did look over both tires at Kansas, but Grant said nothing jumped out at us. Damage appeared to be to the inside shoulder, belt-edge. In the past, Goodyear has found that teams were too aggressive with either their air pressure or camber settings, causing tire failures.Earnhardt crew chief Steve Letarte and Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe both told Goodyear their setups were not aggressive enough to cause tire failures.Could it have been the result of a slow leak? Possible. It may not have been anything that the teams did, Grant said. All we can do is look at what we have and do an analysis and say heres what that tire experienced. All we try to do is give the teams all the tools we can possibly give them in order to help them set their car up as well as they can. ' ' '
