Dredge and Whiteford share honours in Munich

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Welshman Bradley Dredge and Scot Peter Whiteford took the first-day honours at the BMW International Open in Munich with eight-under rounds of 64.
But if that was dream stuff then the nightmare belonged to Sergio Garcia, who lies second last after slumping to a five-over 77.
Only little-known German professional Christopher Trunzer, not a European Tour member, is below him.
Garcia, who had two double bogeys in his last three holes, suffered by far the worst of the players back from the US Open and battling with nine hours of jetlag.
Ernie Els, third at Pebble Beach, bogeyed the last two holes for a 70, while world number eight Paul Casey returned a 68.
Neither Dredge nor Whiteford were involved in the second major of the year. They are 173rd and 203rd in the world respectively, but that still makes them higher-ranked than the four players who are their closest challengers overnight. Thailand's Chapchai Nirat is 287th, Dane Jeppe Huldahl 290th and Argentina's Ariel Canete 448th, while Dredge's compatriot Phillip Price, the other man to shoot 65, has dropped to 982nd in the rankings since his Ryder Cup triumph over Phil Mickelson eight years ago.
Dredge set the early target after turning in 33, making an eagle on the long 11th and then finishing with three birdies in a row.

HEPWORTH EXTENDS HIS LEAD GOING INTO FINAL DAY


EUROPEAN PRO TOUR NEWS RELEASE
JAMES Hepworth has extended his lead in Northern Ireland as he closed in on the £10,000 top prize in the latest PGA EuroPro Tour event.
Hepworth (Ilkley GC) held a one-shot advantage going into Thursday’s play in the Galgorm Castle Northern Ireland PGA EuroPro Tour Open.
But he performed well for the second day running as birdies at the second, third, sixth and tenth saw him go round in four-under, taking his total to -13.
His nearest challenger is James Webber (Three Rivers Golf Club), who went round in three-under and is currently on ten-under for the competition.
However, Webber could live to regret his three dropped shots as he claimed bogeys at the fifth, sixth and 17th.
Australian Daniel Gaunt has continued his fantastic start to the 2010 campaign and he is again in contention to claim a victory.
He won the opening tournament of the season at Wensum Valley in Norfolk , finished tied second after a five-hole play-off at Longhirst Hall and ended seventh at Bovey Castle last week.
Gaunt is likely to pick up more money from this event as a fine round, which included an eagle at the par five third, leaves him vying for the title.
He is joined in third position by Ireland ’s Barrie Trainor (Team Ireland Golf), who had started the day in second but dropped shots at each of the opening two holes.
Another Irish golfer, Michael Collins (www.foreireland.com), is among a handful of players on eight-under, while Ian Keenan will still be confident of glory.
There are a host of players on seven-under, including Craig Lee (Aspire Golf Centre), a winner last week at Bovey Castle in Devon .
Gary Wolstenholme (Carus Green GC) and Graeme Clark (Doncaster GC) have maintained their record of making the cut at every EuroPro Tour event they have played in this season.
The top 50 players plus ties will advance to the third round that will be played on Friday.

Elliot Saltman sails into lead in Challenge de Espana

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE EUROPEAN TOUR
By RODDY WILLIAMS, Senior Press Officer
Scot Elliot Saltman fired a brilliant course record equalling 64 to set the pace in the first round of the Fred Olsen Challenge de España on the Canary Island of La Gomera.
The 28 year old put together a flawless eight under par round, including six birdies and an eagle on the par five seventh, which saw him match the record set last year at Tecina Golf.
It could have been even better but for a missed putt for birdie at the third from five feet and an eagle putt that lipped out on the ninth.
Saltman, playing his third successive event on the Challenge Tour, has been happy with his game of late and saw the round as merely the result of some good momentum built up over the past few weeks.
He said: “I went home after Morocco and worked on a few things, got mentally stronger and again played very solid today.
“I have Rhys Davies’ victory here last year on my mind and the Challenge de España is definitely the tournament to win!”
He is right to have last year’s Welsh victor at the forefront of his thoughts as it proved the springboard to Davies who, a year on, has won on The European Tour and is in contention for a home debut at The Ryder Cup in October after a string of impressive performances during his rookie season.
Saltman holds a two stroke lead over Ireland’s Colm Moriarty, who had set the target with a round of six under par that included two eagles alongside three birdies and a solitary bogey.
He said: “I played really well, and making two eagles is a bonus - I’m not sure I’v done that too many times.
“I am working hard with both my coaches – Bob Torrance and Neil Manchip – and I am happy with the work we are doing and it is starting to pay off.”
The early leader began steadily enough with a birdie at the third before a 5-wood to 15 feet on the seventh yielded his first eagle.
Birdies followed at the ninth and tenth holes until a bogey at the 15th looked like derailing his progress, but the second eagle followed at the 17th with a sweet a 4-iron to a few feet that set up the easiest of threes.
The leader is the older brother of Lloyd, winner of the Silver Medal at The Open in 2005. Elliot will hope that in the next few days it will be his name on the lips of golf writers for a change in his quest for European Tour status next year – the added bonus, if he needed any, being that today he leads his brother by seven.
