Sergio Garcia led after the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic, the Spaniard taking advantage of calm morning conditions to post a seven-under-par 65.

Garcia, who finished 11th in the Singapore Open on the Asian Tour the week before last, was 20-1 ante-post. He was a general 7-2 after day one.

Tiger Woods was abysmal again and looks set for his second missed cut of the fortnight after opening with a 77.

Matthew Fitzpatrick is an attractive wager to win his threeball with Woods and Danny Willett for the second day running.

Recommendation
M Fitzpatrick
