ADARE, Ireland(AP) Richard Green birdied three of the last five holes for a 6-under 66 Thursday and a share of the lead after the first round of the Irish Open.
Jeev Milka Singh was tied with Green at the Adare Manor.
Bradley Dredge (68) birdied two of the last three holes and shared third place with Marcel Siem, Johan Edfors and Michael Lorenzo-Vera.
Peter Lawrie birdied four of the last six holes for a 71.
Darren Clarke (72) was critical of the course near Limerick.
"It was ridiculously difficult this afternoon with some of the pin positions we had,'' Clarke said. "We were hitting 3-irons to flags that were completely inaccessible. It takes all the fun away and the ability to shoot a good score away.''

Bob Tway could easily be part of the FedEx Cup's first playoff tournament, The Barclays, but the 49-year-old has different priorities this week. Instead of attempting to secure his PGA Tour card for 2009, Tway is carrying the bag of 20-year-old son Kevin at this week's U.S. Amateur Championship.
Enough, already. We get the point. Actually, we got the point four months and 3,762 references ago, because that’s about how many times we have been subjected to this nonsense about something Ben Hogan may have said 57 years ago.
Michelle Wie was on the verge of something big last week at the LPGA State Farm Classic — her first professional win. But a rules infraction got her DQ'd on Saturday. Now she'll go after that first win on the PGA Tour, and likely won't forget to sign her card.
Anthony Kim was a crossroads. He could either continue down the road of laziness and late night carousing or he could shape up and start living up to his potential. He chose the latter — and he’s having way more fun.
