Peter Senior and Steve Collins shot matching rounds of eight-under-par 64 to share the lead after the opening round of the Australian PGA championship today.
Senior fired nine birdies and a bogey while Collins sunk eight birdies in a flawless round at Coolum on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
Rod Pampling birdied each of the last four holes to finish in third place with a 65, one shot clear of Martin Doyle who was outright fourth after a 66.
A group of eight players, including Australia's former world number one Greg Norman, who had former tennis world number one Lleyton Hewitt carrying his bags, entered the clubhouse a shot back at five-under-par.
Last year's joint winner Peter Lonard and last weekend's Australian Masters runner-up Adam Scott were in a group of eight at four-under-par.
