Rehman takes lead in Punjab Open Golf

OUR STAFF REPORTER LAHORE - M Rehman of Royal Palm dominated with best score of gross 72 at the end of the first round of the three-round Al Baraka Bank Punjab Amateur Golf Championship here at the Lahore Gymkhana Golf Course on Friday. During the first round, Rehman scored five birdies on holes 3, 7, 8, 11 and 14 but instead of ending with an under par round he had to consume his birdie excellence to neutralize the unsettling affects of five bogies, one on the opening hole and others on holes 4, 9, 12 and 16. Sardar Murad is just a stroke behind at a score of gross 73 and preparing a strategy to stop Rehman's march to winning glory. However, he cheered himself up after a wholesome Khawaja Zubair oriented lunch and hoped to improve his excellence in the second round. Two more competitors looking compatible for the upcoming fight are Wazir Ali and Mohsin Anwar of the host club. More competitors not too far behind are Imran Ahmed and Khalid Mehmood.
