KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore's Mardan Mamat and Lam Chih Bing
combined for an eight-under-par 64 in the fourball on Thursday to
take a first day lead in a four-day World Cup championship
qualifier.

Lam contributed one eagle and four birdies, while Mamat, the
current Indian Open champion, carded two birdies on the front
nine and holed a 12-foot birdie on the par-five 18th at Kuala
Lumpur's Kota Permai Golf and Country Club.

The Singaporeans have a one shot lead over Finland's Janne
Mommo and Ari Savolainen. Teams from Malaysia and the Philippines
finished two shots back at 66.

The first and third rounds for the World Cup qualifier use the
fourball (best ball) format while the second and final rounds
will use the foursomes format (alternate shot). -- AP
