Thomas Aiken leads Africa Open after Day one
January 6th 2012 15:36
The first group out in The 2012 Race to Dubai carded a combined 18 under par as Thomas Aiken and Retief Goosen lit up the opening round of the Africa Open.
South African Aiken carded a nine under par 64 at East London Golf Club to lead by one from his compatriots Goosen, who earlier hit the first shot of the new European Tour season, and Jaco Ahlers.
The 28 year old Aiken won his maiden European Tour title at last year’s Open de España and posted nine top-ten finishes in 2011, and he maintained that excellent form with two eagles and five birdies in a bogey-free round.
Former Ryder Cup hero Phillip Price joined another pair of South Africans, Michael du Toit and Dean O’Riley, in a tie for fourth on seven under.
