Wang grabs share of early lead

Sixes were wild in Thursday's opening round of the Beijing Championship, the ninth event on this year's PGA Tour Series-China.

China's Wang Xu, New Zealand's Luke Toomey, Singapore's Quincy Quek and American Joseph Winslow, winner of the Yantai Championship earlier this month, each shot 6-under 66 to share the early lead in the 1.5 million yuan ($221,000) tournament.

Hong Kong's Motin Yeung, third in the order of merit standings, carded five straight birdies en route to a 67 at Topwin Golf and Country Club, which previously hosted Tour events in 2015 and 2016, and the last three China Opens.
