EUROPEAN TOUR EVENT AT VILAMOURA

"THE NEXT LANGER" LEADS PORTUGAL
MASTERS WITH AN 11-under-par 61

The man they've labelled "The Next Bernhard Langer" shot an 11-under-par 61 to lead the £2million Portugal Masters at Vilamoura today.
Twenty-two-year-old German-born rookie Martin Kaymer is the name - and he is one of the few golfers in the world who knows what it is like to score 59.
Kaymer left the rest of the star-studded field trailing in his wake by equalling the lowest round of the European Tour season and clipping two strokes off the Oceanico Victoria Club's course record.
A total of 60 players - including Paul Lawrie and Alastair Forsyth on 68 and Stephen Gallacher (69) scored under 70 over the so-called risk-and-reward Arnold Palmer-designed course which has many water features.
