Ryder, Rai, Grant lead at Torrey Pines

SAN DIEGO: England's Aaron Rai posted a birdie-birdie finish to join a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard after Wednesday's (Thursday in Manila) opening round of the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in California.

The 27-year-old from Wolverhampton took advantage of benign golf conditions on the North Course to fire an eight-under-par 64 and finish the day alongside Americans Sam Ryder and Brent Grant.
