Rumford, Foster lead after Super 6 1st round in Perth

BRETT Rumford and Mark Foster shot 6-under 66s yesterday to lead after the first round of the World Super 6 at Lake Karrinyup — with 10 others a stroke back at the European Tour event.

“No stretches of brilliance, just a consistent round of golf,” the 39-year-old Rumford said. The tournament, also sanctioned by the Australian and Asian tours, in Perth will feature three days of stroke play before switching to a match-play format in the final round when the top 24 golfers will play a series of six-hole knockout duels. Robert Dinwiddie, Hideto Tanihara, Casey O’Toole and Johannes Veerman were among those tied for second with 67s. The tournament features a regular cut after the second round, reducing the field to the top 65 pros and ties. There will be a further cut to 24 players after the third round, with the top eight receiving a bye into the first of a series of match play on Sunday.
