Digboi (Assam), Nov 13: Asgar Ali fired a career-best six-under par 66 to take the lead on the opening day of the Rs 8.5 lakh Servo Masters, the eighth leg of the Hero Honda Indian Golf Tour season, at the Digboi Golf Links course yesterday.
Asgar, who battled back pain to stake his claim for the title, had birdies on the third before a bogey on the fifth. But he came back strongly firing a quadruple of birdies beginning from the sixth to be four-under for the front nine.

Asgar played it a little safe on the back nine adding only a couple of birdies on the 14th and the par-3 16th which is the signature hole of the course.
