GREAT FOR SCOTT, POOR FOR PAUL AT WENTWORTH

Scott Henry and Paul Lawrie had contrasting fortunes in the opening round of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, Surrey today.
Early starter Henry shot a 68 to be only one shot behind leader Mikko Ilonen (Finland).
But Lawrie, who finished high up in this event last year, saddled himself with a three-over-par 75 which could have been worse because he birdied the 16th and 18th after running up a triple boghey 7 at the 13th.
Paul had three birdies in all. The first came at the 12th, but he also dropped shots at the first, third, 10th and 11th.
Stephen Gallacher had a lot of work ahead of him if he is to make the cut. He shot a 76.
