Sheehan leads Dunlop Phoenix, leaving Els and Poulter in his wake

- AP

MIYAZAKI, Japan (AP) -- Australian Paul Sheehan shot a 4-under 67 on Thursday to take the first-round lead at the Dunlop Phoenix.

Sheehan birdied Nos. 7 and 8 at the par-71 Phoenix Country Club and added two more birdies on the back nine to take a one-stroke lead over a group of seven golfers, including American Brandt Snedeker and Japan's Toru Suzuki.

South Africa's Ernie Els shot a 72 to finish in a tie for 34th place. Defending champion Ian Poulter of Britain shot a 73.

The $2.1 million event is one of the richest tournaments on the Japan PGA Tour. Recent winners include Tiger Woods (2004, 2005) and Padraig Harrington (2006).
