Golf:Pádraig Harrington carded a six under par round of 66 to lead the Nedbank Golf Challenge by one stroke after a rain-affected first day at Sun City.
The three-time major winner fired seven birdies and just one bogey as he produced an excellent back nine to move ahead of
English duo Ross Fisher and Lee Westwood, on five and four under respectively.
Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez was also on four under, with last year’s winner Robert Allenby two shots back after shooting a one under 70, the same score as England’s Justin Rose.
The South African contingent were slightly off the pace at the Gary Player Country Club with Ernie Els and British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen on one under, along with Edoardo Molinari.
