Veteran golfer Asgar Ali fired a career-best six-under par 66 to lead on the opening day of the Rs 8.5 lakh Servo Masters, the eighth leg of the Hero Honda Indian Golf Tour, at the Digboi Golf Links course today.

Asgar’s Kolkata city-mate SSP Chowrasia and Gast Ram were three strokes behind the leader with 69 apiece.

Pappan and Zai Kipgen shared the fourth spot with a total of 2-under par 70 while five others—Sandeep Syal, Sanjay Kumar, Suleman Ali, Vishal Singh and Yusuf Ali—shared the sixth position.

But he came back strongly, firing a quadruple of birdies, beginning from the very next hole to be four-under for the front nine.
