Mattiace and Jonzon share lead on 64
in Alfred Dunhill Championship

Len Mattiace and Michael Jonzon shared the lead on seven-under-par 65 after the opening round at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa.
The pair lead by one from Lee Westwood, Robert Rock, Rafael Cabrera Bello and Johan Edfors - with three players on five under 67 and 14, including 2004 champion Charl Schwartzel, three off the pace.
Swede Jonzon was especially impressive at the Leopard Creek Golf Club, with two birdies and an eagle in his opening four holes giving him a flying start.
Another birdie on the par-4 sixth helped him complete the front nine in 30 - the lowest of the day - and he consolidated that performance with a 35 on the back nine to complete a bogey-free round.
"I played really, really well - especially my shots into the green where I found my speed and the lines on the greens," he said.
"It was just a day when you play really well. The weather in the afternoon was also nice. The wind died down and made it quite easy.
"It's just sometimes that days like these happen. It's when you don't think about it when it does happen."
American Mattiace, who lost a play-off to Mike Weir at the Masters in 2003, added: "I really wanted to get off to a good start.
"I played in a tournament last week in Buenos Aires in Argentina and I really didn't get off to a good start.
"So I wanted to go around and shoot a really low score and I really mapped it out and I stuck pretty well to what I thought I should do. I really challenged myself today. I don't know how the other scores look. I'm sure there are going to be some pretty low ones because of the greens being soft."

Goggin, Dartnall and Porter share lead
on 65 in Australian Open

Three players shared a two-shot lead at the end of an eventful opening day at Royal Sydney after carding 65s in benign conditions.
Mathew Goggin, Stephen Dartnall and Ewan Porter set the pace on day one of the Australian Open by equalling John Senden's previous best round set in 2006.
Fresh from his second-place finish at last week's Australian PGA Championship, Goggin hit the ground running with six birdies on the front nine to set up his round, while Dartnall - who fired a 62 in Monday's qualifying to earn his start - managed six birdies and an eagle. Porter birdied his final two holes to be the last man in at seven under on a low-scoring day.
New Zealand duo Mark Brown and David Smail, who led for much of the day after firing early five-under 67s, are joined by Australian Masters winner Rod Pampling two shots off the pace.
Queensland's Troy Kennedy sits at four under after signing for a 68 alongside Kiwi amateur Danny Lee.
Senden, who scored a hole-in-one on the par-3 13th, is one of six players at three under.
Pre-tournament favourite Geoff Ogilvy rescued his day with four late birdies on the way to an even-par start, while Northern Irishman Darren Clarke also showed tremendous powers of recovery on his way to an opening 72 after racking up a disastrous triple bogey on his second hole of the day - the par-four 11th.
Aberdeen-born Michael Sim also matched the par of 72.
Defending champion Craig Parry struggled to a one-over 73 to sit in a share of 70th with Stuart Appleby, Marcus Fraser and Peter O'Malley - just to name a few.
John Daly's roller-coaster ride in Australia continued with a disappointing six-over 78 that included three double bogeys, three bogeys and three birdies.
The two-time major winner was also involved in an incident with an over-zealous fan, smashing his camera against a tree in a fit of rage. Golf Australia later announced no action would be taken against the American probably because there is a golf-course ban on cameras.

Rhys Davies takes first round lead with
a 64 in Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open

Welsh rookie Rhys Davies carded an opening eight-under-par 64 to take the first round lead at the US$300,000 Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open and promised to put up a stronger challenge so as to make amends for last week’s heartbreak.
Two-time Asian Tour winner Anthony Kang of the United States is a further shot back on 65 while Indonesia’s Rory Hidayat posted a 66 to take third place. Thailand’s Chawalit Plaphol, who had earlier taken the morning lead, is in fourth place on 67.
Fellow compatriot Thongchai Jaidee, Thaworn Wiratchant together with Australia’s Gavin Flint, Malaysia’s Airil Rizman and Korea’s Park Jae-bum are bunched together in fifth on matching 68s.
Former Walker Cup player and stand-out performer on the US college circuit, Davies came agonisingly close to his maiden win on the Asian Tour last week when lost in a play-off to Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee at the Hana Bank Vietnam Masters.
But with the strong start that he made today, where he recorded nine birdies against a single bogey, Davies is hoping that it will be his turn to be rewarded this week.
“I played really well today. I just went out there, got very focus, hit a lot of good shots and was rewarded with a low score today,” said Davies.
“Last week was a great week too. But I can’t dwell over one little shot which I couldn’t control and missed in the play-off. It’s a new week, great start and I hope it continues,” added Davies.
Meanwhile, Kang who is seeking to end his Asian Tour title drought since 2001, also impressed by firing eight birdies against a lone bogey to finish closely behind Davies at the Phokeethra Country Club.
“I’m really happy with my iron shots, my distance control and I hope it continues for the next three days. I’ve two more events left for the year and I hope to end it well,” said Kang.
Thailand’s Chawalit Plaphol also bolstered his chances of winning his third Asian Tour title after grabbing the early morning lead.
Chawalit got off to a strong start on his opening back-nine when he rattled in five birdies before making the turn in four-under.
The 34-year-old Thai continued to maintain his good form with two more birdies on the second and fourth hole after the turn before dropping a shot on the sixth for a lone bogey.
“I’m quite pleased with how I’ve played today. If there’s any aspect of my game which I can credit to, it’ll be my putting and tee shots,” said Chawalit.
“My strategy and game plan for tomorrow is the same as today, which is to go out there, hit the fairways and attack the pins,” added Chawalit.
Defending champion Bryan Saltus of the United States began his defence with a 72 to end the day in tied-43rd place.

John Daly smashes specator's camera on
way to a 78 in Australian Open

John "Wild Thing" Daly was involved in an incident with a spectator on his way to a six-over-par round of 78 in the first round of the Australian Open at Royal Sydney Golf Club today.
Spectator Brad Clegg snapped the big American at close range among the trees after a wayward tee shot cost Daly a penalty shot.
Daly grabbed the camera, ripping the wrist strap from its mountings, and threw it with all his force into the trunk of the nearest tree.
"You want it back, I'll buy you a new one," Daly yelled.
Clegg said he was in shock as he picked up the pieces of his camera, which he bought a year ago for $180.
The memory card survived the episode, and the last picture on it shows a pale and clearly angry Daly ready to explode.
Without saying another word, Daly took his penalty drop and finished the hole with a bogey to end his opening round with a six-over-par 78.
He will almost certainly miss the halfway cut for the third straight week to complete a miserable visit to Australia.
Daly, whose life Stuart Appleby last month labelled a "train wreck", stormed off the course immediately after signing his card.
He later phoned tournament officials to express his regret at the incident and put his side of the story.
"I was looking to take a drop and the camera was six inches away from my face," he said in a statement.
"If I was 10 under par I would have felt the same. My eyes are still burning from the flash of the camera.
"I feel it was very rude to put a camera that close to anybody's face in any situation.
"The guy that had the camera had already taken a dozen shots at close range."
Daly will not be punished by Golf Australia, which runs the Open but may face disciplinary action from the PGA Tour of Australasia.
Media supervisor Kathie Shearer, who took the call from Daly, said he sounded very upset.
"He was really sad about it," she said.
Clegg, a 15-handicapper from Sydney's Ashlar club, took a day's annual leave and got up at 5am specifically to follow Daly.
"I don't think I'll be chasing him for the money. He's a big bloke," he said.
Clegg accepted he had breached entry conditions which clearly state that spectators cannot carry cameras or mobile phones.
But he did not think he had provoked Daly.
"I was bold but I wasn't unreasonable," he said.
Clegg was not alone in carrying a camera. Many in Daly's gallery were also taking pictures, and at one stage playing partner Robert Allenby upbraided a course marshall for using a camera in the middle of the fairway.
Daly was paid appearance money to play the Australian tournaments, and while he thrilled the fans with booming 300-metre drives, his putting has been woeful.
On the par-three 17th hole, for instance, his tee shot settled on the front of the green. Rather than use his putter, Daly took out a wedge and chunked it about two metres, taking a piece out of the green in the process.
He then took out his putter and took three more to get it into the hole.
It was a typical Daly round.
