KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - American Scott Piercy made light work of the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club by firing a blistering 10-under-par 62 to grab the first round lead at the PGA Tour's CIMB Classic on Thursday.
The bogey-free effort gave the Las Vegas born 36-year-old a three-shot lead over Japan's Hideki Matsuyama in the $7 million co-sanctioned Asian Tour event, the third of the new 2016 PGA Tour season.
While Piercy was dominating the leaderboard, compatriot Scott Brown was picking up the big prize. The 32-year-old walked away with a new sports car after a hole-in-one at the 199 yard par three 15th.
