Golf: Sand trap costs Tiger in Shanghai

There's a three way tie for the lead after the first round of golf's Champions Tournament in Shanghai.

Britons Nick Dougherty and Paul Lawrie along with Australian Peter O'Malley fired eight-under-par 64s to lead Tiger Woods by a stroke.

Dougherty is overwhelmed to be ahead of Woods, a man he has an enormous respect for.

He says Woods is the ultimate golfer, he even describes him as the best golfer who has ever walked the planet and someone who is so perfect it is almost sickly.

New Zealand's Michael Campbell has fired an opening round six-under-par 66 to be two shots off the lead.
