Schwartzel avoids errors with Nike golf clubs to lead WGC-CA Championship

Charl Schwartzel took maximum advantage of a catalogue of errors all around him to claim a one-stroke lead after the opening round of the WGC-CA Championship.
The South African kept mistakes to a minimum with his Nike Golf VR Victory Red Forged TW Blade golf irons as he carded a bogey-free, five-under-par 67 at the challenging TPC Blue Monster course at Doral in Florida in windy conditions.
However, things could have been so different had Robert Allenby, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els, who all lie a single shot off the lead, not made some costly mistakes.
Australian Allenby suffered four dropped shots in succession after earlier holding a five-stroke advantage, Singh found the water at the final hole and ended up with a double bogey and Els somehow scrambled a bogey on the last after driving into trees and then ending up in a lake.
Schwartzel, who also uses Nike Golf Victory Red Forged golf wedges, said: "I didn't think 67 was out there at the beginning of the day with the wind as strong as it was.
"The big achievement for me today was not making any bogeys. That kept the scorecard very clean."
Schwartzel has been on fire with his Nike golf clubs so far during the 2010 European Tour season, picking up back-to-back tournament triumphs in the Africa Open and Joburg Open.
