Bhullar fires five-under-67 in Doha

Gaganjeet Bhullar fired a five-under-67 in the opening round of the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters to be placed tied eighth, three behind the leader George Coetzee of South Africa.

Bhullar teed off from the 10th and sank three birdies in a row from the 10th through the 12th. He added two more on the 16th and 17th to make the turn at five-under. Gaganjeet, who finished tied 10th in Abu Dhabi last week, made a birdie and a bogey on his second-nine.

Shiv Kapur was four-under through 16 holes when play was suspended due to fading light on day one. He made four birdies on his first seven holes to be placed tied 14th at the close of play.

Jeev Milkha Singh carded a one-under-71 in round one.
