Mrs Golf

Mr Golf has been to watch Sergio today and was suprised at how few people were following him.  It looks like numbers are down on last year or was that just because of the rain forecasted?

Sergio Garcia played well the front nine holes under difficult conditions, holing a couple of nice puts for birdies but he missed a 3 foot put for par at Hole 8.  Nevertheless he finished a very respectable -1 for the first nine holes.

Sergio then proceeded to birdie Hole 10, chipped in for an eagle at Hole 11 to move into a tie for second place.

However he made a bogey at Hole12 and a disastrous double bogey at Hole 14 and all of a sudden (which is so typical of Valderrama) he was back to level par and on the ropes.

Carrying on he proceeded to make a nice birdie at the difficult Hole 16, was unfortunate to bogey Hole17 but ended the round with a superb approach to 5 feet at Hole 18 which he birdied leaving him with a -1 for 70 and a tie for fifth place.

This was a decent score considering he played in the worst of the conditions all day.

George Coetzee didnt fare so well shooting he thinks +5 however Alejandro Canizales had a decent round sharing tie for 8th spot.

Scotlands Richie Ramsay is the current leader after an exceptional -6 for 65 in Round 1.

Sergio Garcia is out early tomorrow and the weather forecast is good all day with no strong winds so hopefully with better conditions Sergio can improve on todays round of 70.

Did anyone else go today and if so who did you follow and what did you think?
