Allenby shoots 7-under 65 for 1-shot lead in Dubai

Robert Allenby shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday for a one-shot lead after the first round of the Dubai World Championship. The 38-year-old Australian, who plays mainly on the U.S. PGA tour, had eight birdies and only one bogey on the Earth Course, which is hosting the $7.5 million final event of the European Tour season. Allenby was one shot ahead of England's Lee Westwood, Chris Woods and Colombian Camilo Villegas, who all shot 6-under 66s.
