Toms shoots 4-under to lead Els by a shot

DAVID Toms had the best score on Tuesday in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Southampton, Bermuda.

In an opening day led by the two alternates, Toms got off to a fast start before losing momentum with a pair of bogeys. He still managed a 4-under 67 at Port Royal Golf Course for a one-shot lead over Ernie Els.

The 36-hole event is for the four major champions. Toms replaced British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, who is recovering from an ankle injury. Els filled in for Masters champion Phil Mickelson, who chose not to play.

US Open champion Graeme McDowell had a 72, while PGA Champion Martin Kaymer brought up the rear with a 74.

Alternates at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf must be former major champions. They are offered a spot depending on how they played in the majors this year. Toms, who won the PGA Championship in 2001, was 5 under through 10 holes.

However, he followed with two bogeys sandwiched around a birdie, then closed with five straight pars.
