I also sent a short text message to Annika Sorenstam that read: 11. When she recently won her 10th major on the LPGA Tour, she couldn’t wait to text me. Guess I’m 1-up now.

By the way, does the tournament title qualify for the longest tournament title on the tour? “The Deutsche Bank Players Championship of Europe” it even reads on the PGA European Tour website.

Anyway, some three hours ago the first players went onto their rounds (see tee times here), the current leader is frenchman Gregory Havret at six under, one shot clear of Retief Goosen, who already shot an eagle at 15. You can follow the live scoring on the tournaments website or on the PGA European Tour website.

For more information there is even a downloadable PDF-mag on the tournament website with all the Daily News.  Oh, and the Daly news is: he is two over after a miserable start with par, bogey, double-boge, bogey on the first four holes.
