Spain birdied the final hole to sit top of the leaderboard after the opening day of foursomes at the World Cup of Golf.The duo of Rafael Cabrera Bello and Jon Rahm went one under at the par-four 18th to card a three-under-par 69 in testing conditions in Melbourne.It was a perfect end to an impressive round in the wind, with Cabrera Bello having earlier sunk a putt from distance to register an eagle at the eighth.It was a fun putt, he said. When I was seeing it, it looked like it couldnt miss and then all of a sudden it really missed and I dont know how it came back and went in.Its been a fun day. We played well. It was tough and tricky with the wind but Jon played great, I rolled some putts and hit some good shots as well. Its a score were proud of and also a score we deserve.Rahm added: Were playing foursomes in this kind of weather in this part of the world and on this kind of course. Its a little tricky to what Im used to playing in the States.Obviously we planned a strategy which had me hitting more tee-shots. He hit a couple of great shots, rolled some putts in and thats pretty much what we needed. It wasnt so much about hitting great shots -- it was about avoiding mistakes and we did that perfectly.Spain hold a one-shot lead over France, China and the United States, who all went round in 70 to be two under.The French pairing of Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque fired four birdies and two bogeys, as did Ryder Cup-winning American pair Jimmy Walker and Rickie Fowler, while Wu Ashun and?Hao-tong Li?of China posted five birdies and three bogeys.I gave Rickie a couple of tough putts, but he buried them, admitted Walker. Thats what it takes to play well and stay in a golf tournament.The course played tough today. I thought starting out today that if you shot anything under par, it was going to be pretty good. All the par fives played straight into the wind today. So we had to battle all day, and it really was a battle at times but I feel like we came out on top.England, represented by Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan, were a shot further back on one under along with the Italian pair of Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero, with Irish duo Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell level par alongside Sweden and Denmark.The Australian team and pre-tournament favourites, Adam Scott and Marc Leishman, could only manage one birdie in tough, windy conditions which leaves them five behind.Its very tough to gauge exactly whats going on out there when its blustery, Scott told the AAP. But its not that bad. You only feel bad because youre two over, but two under [which became three under] is leading. If you were four back after the first round of any other event, you wouldnt care at all. Pittsburgh Penguins Store .

LONDON -- Novak Djokovic is a fan of the round-robin format in tennis, and he would even like to see it used at the Olympics and the Davis Cup.Djokovic, who is chasing the year-end No. 1 ranking this week at the season-ending tournament, praised the system at the ATP finals, where players can lose a match in the first round and still advance to the semifinals.I think this format is exciting, Djokovic said Thursday after winning his third straight match at the ATP finals. I mean, look, its the only tournament in the year that we have this kind of format. I like playing in the round-robin system.Djokovic, who lost to eventual silver medalist Juan Martin del Potro in the first round at the Rio de Janeiro Games, then said he thinks the format could be used at the Olympics.I guess you play more matches, said Djokovic, who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. The people like to see the top players being at least for a couple matches, two, three matches, in the tournament. It gives more value to the event.Djokovic also criticized the Davis Cup, a team tournament spread out through the year. He proposed condensing it to make it easier on tthe top players.ddddddddddddOnce a year ... two weeks, have a round-robin format, Djokovic said. Have teams play in different locations, then come together in one location and play a knockout stage, quarterfinals, semifinals, final four, whatever.Its a no-brainer. Im not the only one to have this kind of opinion about it. Many of the players have been talking about this format and the schedule, top players especially.Djokovic also said the three-day, best-of-five set system could be cut to two days and best-of-three matches. But he said the International Tennis Federation hasnt been receptive to change.The only thing that they wanted to change is the neutral final, I think for next year or the year after that ... nobody agrees with that, Djokovic said. Again, youre taking away from the players the one thing that players love about Davis Cup, which is the home tie, the home crowd.I dont know how the future of Davis Cup will look like, Djokovic added. But there is definitely something radically that has to change. ' ' '
