GOLFERS OFF THE PACE AFTER OPENING ROUND

Two Jordanian golfers are playing catch-up after their opening 18 holes at the Asian Youth Games in Bahrain.

Adam Al-Mazaydeh shot a 21-over-par round to sit in 50th spot, five places behind teammate Mohammad Al-Rawashdeh who carded a 17-over round at the Royal Golf Club.

Golfers from 25 countries are competing in both individual and team events with the second round scheduled for Friday.
