The first day of the 2016 WGC-HSBC Champions in China has ended and Sweden's Rikard Karlberg holds a one-shot lead at this early stage. He shot an eight-under 64 at Sheshan International Golf Club to take the initiative in what promises to be a highly competitive tournament.
American Ricky Fowler finished the day close behind with a seven-under 65 while Russell Knox, last year’s winner, carded an impressive six-under 66.
The first day was less successful for world No. 3 Rory McIlroy, who could only muster a one-under 71 on a rainy outing in China.
