NORMAN STARTS BOGEY-BOGEY ... THEN RETIRES FROM AUSSIE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Greg Norman has withdrawn from the Australian PGA Championship due to illness as the tournament began in cool conditions at Palmer Coolum Resort in Queensland. 
The Australian veteran bogeyed his opening two holes before succumbing to food poisoning. 
Play started at 6am local time with Norman, Jake Higginbottom and Stuart Appleby one of the highest-profile early groups. 
With thunderstorms forecast, an early shower ensured a wet start for the early groups and could make the organisers nervous about disruptions, although the weather is expected to settle down as the day continues. 
Newly-crowned Australian Open champion Peter Senior has also begun his opening round alongside Rory Sabbatini and Marc Leishman. 
Reigning champion Greg Chalmers will tee off at 11.50am local time with Rod Pampling and Craig Parry, while Darren Clarke, Geoff Ogilvy and Robert Allenby will follow that group on the first tee at noon.
