08/19/2010 - Celadna, Czech Republic (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shiv Kapur fired a six-under 66 on Thursday to take the first-round lead of the Czech Open at Prosper Golf Resort.
Tano Goya and Peter Hanson are knotted in second place at five-under 67, followed by Richard Bland and Julien Guerrier, who share fourth place at minus-four.
Rick Kulacz, Jose Manuel Lara, Scott Hend, Richard Finch and Clodomiro Carranza are tied for sixth place at three-under 69.
They are all chasing a 28-year-old from India who is winless on the European Tour and 100th in this year's Race to Dubai.
Kapur parred the first hole, a reachable par five, but caught fire immediately after. He birdied six holes in a row from the second, parred eight and nine and made the turn at six-under 30.
The two pars at the end of the front nine showed that Kapur was slowing down. He bogeyed the par-five 10th and the par-four 11th to fall to four-under par for the tournament.
After four consecutive pars, Kapur got back to five-under par thanks to a birdie at the par-five 16th. He took sole possession of the lead with a birdie at the last.
"I was six-under through my first seven holes so it would have been nice to have added some birdies on the back nine," said Kapur. "But golfers are never happy."
Kapur was raving about the golf course, especially since he's not as accustomed to hilly tracks.
"The course is fantastic and the greens are absolutely brilliant. They are rolling beautifully in spite of the rain," said Kapur, who lost a playoff earlier this season at the South African Open Championship. "I've never grown up on courses like this -- I did on flat courses -- but it suits my game as it is not a course that rewards long hitters."
This is one of the last two events to finalize the European Ryder Cup team. After next week, the automatic nine qualifiers will be set and Colin Montgomerie will make his three captain's picks.
One of the players battling to get on to the team is Miguel Angel Jimenez. The Spaniard, who co-designed the course, shot a one-under 71 in Thursday's first round.
"It's not much of an advantage knowing the course as people practice a couple of days and get to know it," said Jimenez, who is eighth on the Ryder Cup points list. "The course is very true and you can see everything. You need to hit it straight to be able to hit the pins as the greens are very fast. That is the key."
NOTES: Defending champion Oskar Henningsson managed a one-over 73 on Thursday and is tied for 50th place...There was a steady rainfall on Thursday, but play wasn't stopped.
