Monty and Forsyth six behind in World Cup

Scots 'can't buy a putt'
as Germany lead with
1o-under-par 62

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE EUROPEAN TOUR
Germany’s Martin Kaymer and Alex Cejka stormed into the lead of the Omega Mission Hills World Cup after a blistering ten under par in the four-ball first round took them stroke one clear of Australia.
The pair, who finished sixth last year, got off to a flying start on the Olazábal Course at Mission Hills, China with four birdies in the first four holes and when Kaymer eagled the seventh they were in front. More birdies followed, with three in succession from the ninth, and another on the 15th gave them a better ball score of 62.
Australia came home in just 30 strokes as Richard Green and Brendan Jones opened this account with a 63 while Canada, Spain and the United States were gathered on eight under par. Tournament favourites Sweden are in the group on seven under but the defending champions and host nation struggled to find top gear on the opening day.
Colin Montgomerie and Alastair Forsyth couldn’t buy a putt as title-holders Scotland finished on four under par 68 while China came unstuck on the last when Liang Wen-chong and Zhang Lian-wei double bogeyed the hole after both players found the water.
Instead the day belonged to Germany. Kaymer has won twice on The European Tour this year as he has established himself as one of the world’s top young players while Cejka is back playing again in his first full event following surgery to repair a trapped nerve in the summer. Of the two players, Kaymer in particular played beautifully as he contributed six birdies and an eagle to the German cause.
“Martin played really solid golf today,” said Cejka. “He made a lot of birdies, an eagle, and I just tried to contribute a couple of times. We have three more rounds to go and we are delighted to be here. We are leading, and I think it's a great start for Germany.”
Kaymer was quick to point out it was a team effort and having fun is the key, commenting: “You want to perform well and you want to play well, but this is a team event, and I think we should just enjoy this week. This is the last tournament for most of the players in the year, and we should just enjoy this week and have fun. Of course, we want to play well, and we will try our best this week. And it’s always nice if you can play for your country.”
The Australian pair of Green and Jones are also delighted to be representing their country this week. It could have been a tough decision to come and play in China with the Sportsbet Australian Masters taking place in Green’s home city of Melbourne, but despite the obvious pull of a home event he won in 2004, he was not going to pass up the opportunity of playing in the Omega Mission Hills World Cup.
Green said: “To play for Australia is a huge honour; both Brendan and I feel that way. Both myself and Brendan have focused on the World Cup and winning for Australia, and doing as good a job as we can.”
Jones backed up his partners passion for the playing under the Australian flag when he said: “I represented Australia at the amateur level, but when there's two professionals that get a chance once a year to represent their country, I just think it's one of the greatest honours.
“As Richard said, we both really want to be here and we both really want to do well. So we're a quarter of the way there, and I'm sure if we would hold the World Cup at the end of the week, I'm sure that there would be a few people playing the Australian Masters that they wish they were in our shoes.”
Pablo Larrazabal, the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year on The European Tour, is clearly enjoying his role as the junior partner alongside the vastly experienced Ryder Cup player, Miguel Angel Jiménez, and the pair combined well with an opening round of eight under par 64.
“We played very well, we complemented each other very well and it's nice, two shots behind the lead,” said Jimenez. “The leaders will feel the breath on the neck.”
Larrazabal was all smiles at the end. He said: “It's a lot of fun to play with him. We enjoyed it all day out there. If we keep on doing the same, trying to have fun out there, well, let's see what happens.”
There’s plenty of rivalry between the United States and Canada but the Canadian underdogs held their own against their neighbours to also shoot eight under par and lie in a share of third place.
The 28 teams will play the second round as foursomes and the alternate shot format us sure to present a fresh challenge on day two of the Omega Mission Hills World Cup.

Here's a thought-provoking article about sports sponsorship I thought you would like to read - The Editor.

Meltdown in sports sponsorship is not

all bad news

FROM THE GUARDIAN.CO.UK WEBSITE

By LAWRENCE DONEGAN

Despite what others may say, I'll stick with my belief that for every penny of sponsorship cash spent nurturing sporting talent, a pound is spent ruining sport
These words are not brought to you by a car manufacturer, a credit card company, the makers of risible burgers, a bank or indeed any other financial institution whose greed has landed us in the current economic mess. Nor is this situation likely to change any time soon. After all, if Tiger Woods is losing his sponsors what chance do the rest of us have?
Human nature being what it is the news that the world's most famous athlete has been "fired" by the stricken American car manufacturer General Motors inspires a number of emotions, not all of them generous. Misery loves company, apparently, and as we survey the wreckage of our own financial affairs it is difficult not to take at least a tiny bit of comfort from the knowledge that the powerful are suffering a little too.
Yet it would be wise not to waste too much time gloating. For one thing it's not good for the soul and, for another, there are far greater consolations to be found as the global economic meltdown takes its toll on sport.
If Tiger is suffering then rest assured many others will follow. The corporate millions will be missed, no doubt, but as we wave them goodbye we can do so knowing that as sport loses sponsors, so sponsors lose their power to deface the landscape of sport.
In the interests of fairness it should be pointed out that some multi-nationals support grassroots sport. I get a rash of chest-beating emails detailing these efforts but, alas, a lifelong dread of being caught asleep on the job means never getting round to reading them. Maybe I will one day but until then
I'll stick with my belief that for every penny of sponsorship cash spent nurturing sporting talent, a pound is spent ruining sport.
If that sounds harsh here are just a few examples of what I mean - the sale of stadium-naming rights; kit sponsorships going to the highest bidder, even if that means kids running round playgrounds advertising betting companies and extra strong lager; the shortage of big game tickets available to the general public because the corporate partners come first; the recycling of sponsors' tickets into the hands of touts; the empty seats where the sponsors' guests should be but aren't because they prefer to stay in the hospitality suite; and ceaseless pandering to the egos of those who run these corporations.
In the nine years that Tiger Woods was involved with Buick, earning a reported £60m, sales of Buick cars dropped by 58%.
Woods can hardly be blamed for the fact that Buick make bad and deeply unfashionable cars. But one has to wonder about the motivations of those who continued to pay him such extraordinary sums while the company spiralled downwards. Could it be that they thought Buick sales might fall even more precipitously if the company's name was not emblazoned on Tiger's bag? Or could it be they just liked the idea of spending some time in the company of the world's most famous athlete?
That is a question for GM shareholders. The rest of us, meanwhile, can only hope that with less sponsorship money being paid, those who run sport will no longer feel the need to prostitute themselves as much as they have done in recent years.
It would be a bonus too if the harsher economic climate also caused a certain breed of professional sportsmen to re-evaluate their attitude.

No one should begrudge the very best whatever they get, but so much money has been sloshing around sport in recent years that even the mediocre have become wealthy beyond their most extravagant dreams.

Tiger Woods' desire to win is obvious but there is also a generation of golfers whose complacency and sense of entitlement is equally obvious. The same goes for other sports, such as football. Some players have handled their good fortune well, but some have chosen to flaunt it, with little regard for the rules and sensitivities the rest of us live by.
It would surely be a good thing if these people were forced to learn a little humility and appreciate that mediocrity is no longer a passport to great wealth. In other words it is time to return the Baby Bentley to the dealership and get into something a little more in keeping with the new age of austerity. How about a Buick? Apparently Tiger has a second-hand model he's looking to offload.
Wealthy man's whinge is unbecoming of Poulter
God bless Ian Poulter, who is a damn fine golfer and always willing to rush to the aid of any journalist in need of a space filler. Contrary to the flashy public image, he is far more grounded and approachable than most of his peers.
But sometimes he is his own worst enemy. This week the Englishman is in China, where he has been holding court on a number of subjects, including the chancellor's proposals to increase income tax for the wealthiest members of society.

"What is he trying to do, drive us all away? Who wants to spend six months every year earning nothing?" he said, pausing momentarily in his backswing to indulge in the economic debate.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but, frankly, this is not the time for an wealthy sportsman like Poulter to be mouthing off about having to contribute a tiny bit more to the national coffers. He can afford it more than most, after all.

New Zealand early clubhouse leaders
as World Cup starts in China

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Mark Brown and David Smail ensured New Zealand took the clubhouse lead midway through the opening round of the Omega Mission Hills World Cup in China.
Brown shot four birdies while playing partner Smail weighed in with three on the Olazabal course at Mission Hills Golf Club to ensure New Zealand completed their round at seven under par 65. The opening round is in four-ball, better-ball format with the four rounds alternating between this and the more difficult foursomes.
“If you take the attitude of trying to enjoy it, then we should be okay,” said Brown. “Tomorrow’s foursomes will give us a better indication of where we are sitting.”
Looking on course to dislodge them at the top of the leaderboard, however, were Germany who were nine under through 14 holes.
Martin Kaymer, a two time winner on The European Tour last season, started with aplomb as he shot three successive birdies from the first.
Playing partner Alex Cejka added another on the fourth before Kaymer hit an eagle 3 at the seventh and a birdie at the ninth to put Germany at seven under at the turn.
Kaymer immediately added another shot before Cejka birdied the par-5 11th to put Germany in a strong position heading into their last few holes.
Australia were enjoying a profitable run coming home and were eight under through 17.
Richard Green hit a birdie on the third while Brendan Jones added shots on the seventh and ninth to reach the turn at three under before the pair combined to add five birdies from seven holes.
Ireland's Graeme McDowell and Paul McGinley were making a solid charge up the leaderboard and were seven under through 12.
The pair picked up two birdies apiece heading out to reach the turn four under before McDowell hit an eagle three at the 11th and added another shot on the 12th.
England recovered from a disappointing start and were four under through 12.
Ian Poulter hit a bogey at the par-5 third but immediately wiped it out with a birdie at the fourth.
Ross Fisher picked up a shot on the seventh and Poulter carded three successive birdies from the ninth to move England up the leaderboard.
Defending champions Scotland, who were in the last group to tee off, were three under through nine with Colin Montgomerie and Alastair Forsyth carding two and one birdies respectively.

Mixed luck for Aberdonians - Michael Sim a 72

Richie Ramsay has that
DownUnder feeling
with an 82


Aberdeen's Richie Ramsay may have felt at home as a hailstone storm hit the Huntingdale course, Melbourne. But, after a round of 10 over par 82 on the first day of the Australian Masters, he probably wishes he was back home in his native Granite City.
The picture of Ramsay on right was NOT taken after today's round!
There is one Aberdonian among the top 20 - Michael Sim with a par-matching 72.


FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Florida-based Queenslander Scott Hend and South African Tim Clark are the clubhouse leaders at the Sportsbet Australian Masters after a violent electrical storm swept across Huntingdale during the first round, delaying play for almost three hours.
Hailstones, lightning and a succession of heavy showers pummelled the course not long after play was formally suspended. The weather cleared in time, however, to squeeze in another 90 minutes play.
The break was a blessing for Clark who picked up two strokes when he returned to complete his final four holes in conditions far more benign than when play was postponed.
"Obviously the wind was a lot calmer and from a different direction and the greens had softened up so it was a totally different course," Clark said.
"It was tough this morning with the wind but I was happy with how I was playing this morning, too, so overall, I'll take that score."
The highlight of Clark's earlier exploits was a pair of eagles at the 535 yard par five seventh, and the 495 yard par five tenth, both of which were playing downwind and ripe for the picking.
"I had two eagles all year on the US PGA Tour so that was quite a shock for me, but downwind they were reachable and that was where you had to make your score up on a day like this," he said.
A total of 48 players will need to complete their unfinished first rounds on Friday morning, none of which is of any great concern to Hend who signed at lunchtime for a five under 67.
He and Clark lead by two shots from Australians Anthony Brown and Michael Wright and England's Daniel Wardrop who completed rounds of 69.
Queenslander Chris Downes was three under after 12 holes when darkness forced play to be finally called off.
Out on the course early, Hend made light of a hot, swirling north wind for his 67.
Returning gradually to full fitness after straining elbow ligaments lifting boxes of tiles at home in Ponte Vedra in August, Hend said a positive mindset and solid game plan served him well.
"I'm never surprised when I play good, I'm disappointed when I play bad," he said.
"Self-belief and confidence, that's all it is with a golfer.
"Most of us can hit it pretty much the same - good quality, good putters - but self-belief and confidence is where it all is.
"I was pretty much a hothead, but I've learned to control that and control my emotions on the course as well which leads obviously to more positive thoughts and good scores."
The 35 year old, whose best result at Huntingdale is a tie for seventh in 2001, described the greens as a pleasure to putt on and said his general game plan worked well.
Six birdies and just the one blemish, a bogey at the par four fourth, represented a satisfying day's work.
"My target was to be as aggressive as possible downwind, and then just try and make a par into the wind," Hend said.
"It was just aggressive then defensive, back and forward."
Robert Allenby, who is aiming to repeat his achievements of 2005 by completing a clean sweep of the Sportsbet Australian Masters, Cadbury Schweppes Australian PGA Championship and Australian Open over successive weeks, found the afternoon going tough.
The champion at Huntingdale in 2003 and 2005 was out in 38, two over par, and got it back to even following birdies at the 10th and 11th, but missed a tiddler at the 13th to drop to one over.
Vernon Sexton-Finck of Western Australia, Swede Daniel Chopra, veteran Aussie Peter Senior and Simon Griffiths of England all completed rounds of 70. John Daly had a 76.
