Jimenez leads in Turkey with round of 63

Miguel Angel Jimenez started the Turkish Airlines Open with an impressive round of 63 to take the lead after the first round.

The Spaniard offered the spectators a sign of things to come by finding the hole with his first approach shot of the day.

Jimenez would follow a brilliant start with seven more birdies as he mastered the greens in Antayla to climb to nine-under-par.

The 50-year-old finished the day just one shot off Ian Poulter, who was six-under on the par-fives as he continued his recent improvement with a promising start to the tournament.

Tyrrell Hatton, Wade Ormsby and Brendon de Jonge are one stroke further back on seven-under.
