Stress-free: Marcus Fraser of Australia reacts before putting at hole seven during the first round of the Maybank Championship yesterday.

SHAH ALAM: Australian Marcus Fraser is competing in only his fifth tournament in the first three months – two less during the same period last year – and calls himself a 'part-time' golfer.

And playing with a more relaxed mindset seemed to be working wonders for the 40-year-old as he shot a seven-under 65 to grab a share of the opening round lead of the US$3mil (RM12.23mil) Maybank Championship yesterday.
