CARNOUSTIE, Scotland -- Alex Noren of Sweden was leading the Dunhill Links Championship after carding 64 at Carnoustie to equal the course record on Thursday.The 34-year-old Noren, who won the Scottish Open in July and the European Masters last month, fired eight birdies to finish at eight-under-par.The tournament is split between three courses, with players alternating between St. Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie.Noren enjoyed a one-shot lead over Ross Fisher, who carded a 65 at Kingsbarns, with Joakim Lagergren and Matt Ford a shot further back after rounds of 66 at Carnoustie and Kingsbarns respectively.Starting from the 10th, Noren birdied three of his first five holes to reach the turn in 33, before picking up further shots on the first, fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth.It was tough conditions but probably one of the best rounds Ive played, so Im very happy right now, Noren said. All three courses are in probably the best shape Ive ever seen them.I like Carnoustie but Ive never shot lower than maybe 71 here. I didnt expect much but it went better than I expected. I played pretty steady all day, made my pars where I needed to and I was never in really bad trouble, and then the putter worked fantastic.Ford is ranked 138th on the Race to Dubai and in need of some good results to move into the top 110 and retain his card, a feat he managed last season by finishing seventh in the final event in Hong Kong.I think you would be inhuman to not know the scenario and not know what you need, said the 38-year-old Ford, who was ready to accept a winter job as a postman before securing his card via the qualifying school at the 10th attempt in 2014.Six of Europes beaten Ryder Cup team made the journey from Hazeltine to Scotland, with Thomas Pieters, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Danny Willett and Matt Fitzpatrick all in action at Carnoustie.Pieters and Cabrera Bello, who enjoyed successful debuts despite the 17-11 defeat, fared best with rounds of 70, with Kaymer returning a 71, Willett shooting 73, Westwood recording a 75 and Fitzpatrick struggling to a 77.Its great to be back, everybody is on my side here, said Pieters, who set a record for a European rookie with four points from his five matches. Im still very tired mentally.Authentic MLB Jerseys . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured.
