LAHORE - Danish Javed of Gymkhana emerged as front runner with an empowered looking score of gross 72 at the end of first day play of 4th Chairman Wapda Golf Championship here on Friday at Lahore Gymkhana course. Helped by five gleaming birdies and eleven regulation pars, Danish remained a symbol of excellence although that excellence was slightly marred by a double bogie on the 4th hole and on bogies holes 9 and 18.

Other competent amateurs in line for honors are Qasim Ali Khan who is also placed at a score of gross 74 followed by four other technically adept ones who are bunched together at a score of gross 75.
