Denmark's Morten Orum Madsen, fresh from his maiden European Tour win at last weekend's South African Open, shot a first round seven-under-par 65 to lead the Alfred Dunhill Championship on Thursday. Madsen conjured up eight birdies against a lone bogey at Leopard Creek Country Club. One shot behind came South African Allan Versfeld and Portugal’s Ricardo Santos. Defending champion Charl Schwartzel was two shots further back on four under alongside England's Richard Finch, Scotland's David Drysdale and France's Victor Riu. "Today it seemed easy but it definitely wasn't, it was pretty tough out there and the course was playing long with the wind," Madsen told www.europeantour.com. He added: "I have a lot of confidence right now, I really believe I am going to hit good shots on pretty much every shot." "I wasn't expecting to shoot 65 today, I knew I was playing well but I won last week so everything that happens this week or next week is going to be icing on the cake. I am just trying to enjoy the ride." Source: AFP
