Scott Piercy has taken a three-shot lead following a first-round 62 in the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur.

Percy's closest challenger is Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who hit a seven-under 65 with eight birdies and a bogey, while former PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley is among five golfers on six-under.

Australia's Adam Scott started strongly with a birdie and an eagle, but he dropped shots on the seventh and 12th holes to finish the round on four-under.
