Van Zyl shoots 61, leads Westwood by 3

There were plenty of low scores during the opening round of the Turkish Airlines Open, but none lower than the card turned in by Jaco Van Zyl. Here's how things stand after one round in Antalya, where the unheralded South African holds a three-shot lead:

Leaderboard: Jaco Van Zyl (-11), Lee Westwood (-8), Chris Wood (-6), Bernd Wiesberger (-6), Rory McIlroy (-5), Rafael Cabrera-Bello (-5), Fabrizio Zanotti (-5), Kiradech Aphibarnrat (-5)

What it means: McIlroy headlines this week's field, and he got off to a solid start but was lapped by Van Zyl, who caught fire down the back nine.
