Golf: Rough start for NZers in Qatar

Danny Lee is the best placed of the New Zealand golfers after the opening round of the Qatar Masters in Doha.

Lee is tied for 35th after a carding a one-over 73 in the first round to be six shots off the lead held by England's Oliver Wilson and Welshman Bradley Dredge.

Mark Brown is four-over to be in a tie for 86th, while Michael Campbell is a shot further back, tied for 94th in the 125 player field.

A double-bogey on the 18th marred an up and down round for Campbell. Less than a week after revealing he is considering his future in golf, Campbell carded a five-over 77 in the opening round of the European Tour event.
