Jason Day and Adam Scott opted against becoming Olympians due to family reasons. For knockabout country boy Marcus Fraser thats exactly why hes in Rio.Fraser was already on top of the world before producing the round of his life to shoot an eight-under 63 and grab a three-shot opening round lead at Barra da Tijuca.The world No.90 says the pride his two children - Archie, 7, and Lily, 5 - had in him playing at the Rio Games stirred his emotions more than any other tournament.My kids keep telling me Im going to the Olympics, he said after walking off the Marapendi course on Thursday.Later on in life that will be one thing that Ill appreciate that theyll be able to say their dad went to the Olympics and played golf for Australia.To me, that was a big part of the reason why I wanted to come here.Fraser, the Asian Tours prizemoney leader, had been studying the rankings every week this year in the hope of making Australias two-man team.When Matt Jones followed world No.1 Day, No.7 Scott and No.46 Marc Leishman in pulling out of Olympic selection one month ago, the 38-year-old and his kids were elated.Theyll be waking up in the morning (in Melbourne) and getting a shock to see their old man is the leading the Olympics, Fraser said.Day and Leishman both cited concerns over the Zika virus for staying at home while Scott didnt want to cram another tournament into his schedule.Fraser respected what he saw as family-first decisions, and glad they decided not to come because Im here.He sits three ahead of world No.5 Henrik Stenson, the 60-strong fields highest-ranked player, and Canadas Graham Dalaet after making the most of an early tee time and then mastering the increasingly gusty conditions.Brit Justin Rose, who aced the 142m par-three fourth, is in a group of five players on four-under, while Matt Kuchar, Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymar are two shots further back.From the southern NSW country town of Corowa, Fraser used his sandbelt experience to perfection on the purpose-built Melbourne-like course that features major bunkering.He numbers about half a dozen eight-unders in his career but admitted Thursdays effort, cheered on by dozens of Aussies yelling and screaming, set his Rio 63 apart.That was the most special thats for sure, he said.The tap-in (for birdie) on 18 was only a little three-footer but when it went in and I looked down at the ball in the hole, it was something Ill never forget.Compatriot Scott Hend was also tracking for a superb round on turning at three-under but a 10 on the par-five 10th after driving into the brutal wasteland rough and then plugging his ball into two separate bunkers saw him sign with a 74.It (the bunkering) is way too deep, Hend said. Its two foot of sand there. Its shocking.Jeremy Hellickson Nationals Jersey . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder.
