LEE WESTWOOD LEADS WITH A 65 IN INDONESIAN MASTERS

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Defending champion Lee Westwood shot a 7-under 65 today to take a two-shot lead after the first round of the Indonesian Masters.
The third-ranked Englishman opened his round with three consecutive birdies and added six more at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club, along with two bogeys.
Arnond Vongvanij of Thailand shot a bogey-free 67 for second place.
Six golfers were another shot back in a tie for third, including Indian duo Jyoti Randhawa and Shiv Kapur.
Three-time Asian Tour champion Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand had four bogeys and one double bogey on his way to a 75.
Lee Westwood kicked off his Indonesian Masters defence with a sizzling seven-under 65 to give him a two-shot lead after the first day at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.
The world number three mixed nine birdies with two bogeys.
The Englishman began his day with three straight birdies, and had three more on the front nine to reach the turn at five under.
A bogey at 14 slowed his charge, but he birdied the par five 18th to finish his round on a high.
Vongvanij shot a flawless round of 67, which included five birdies, to keep the pressure on Westwood, while a group of six players - India's Jyoti Randhawa and Shiv Kapur, Thai Boonchu Ruangkit, American Sam Cyr and South Korean Lee Sung - are a shot further back on four under.
Six players are locked in a tie for ninth at three under, including Australian Rick Kulacz, American Berry Henson, South Korea's Park Hyun-Bin, Angelo Que of the Philippines, Thai Thitiphun Chuayprakong and Japan's Masanori Kobayashi.
