HAINAN: The Australian duo of Brendan Jones and Richard Green shot an impressive 11-under-par 61 to take an early lead at the World Cup and upstage Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell. The unfancied pair carded seven birdies and an eagle each during their aggressive round-one play on the par-72 course. “We combined very well today,” said Green. “Brendan obviously started very well and built the momentum. This helped me progress with my game towards the back nine. I was able to contribute a little bit, and get the eagle on the par-four 16th. That really helped us at that stage.”
