Annika level par on inward half at Dubai

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
The first round of the Dubai Ladies Masters is underway on the Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club.
Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam, playing in her last tournament before stepping away from the game, started at 8.00am from the 10th tee alongside the French pair of Gwladys Nocera and Anne-Lise Caudal.
She began strongly with birdies on the 10th, 12th and 13th holes, bogeyed the 14th and then birdied the 16th. However she took a double bogey at the par five 18th hole when her third shot spun back from the green into the water, giving her an outward total of one-under, but birdied the first hole to get back into the hunt.
England’s Johanna Head, who began at 8.10am from the first tee, took the outright lead on four-under after four birdies over her opening 10 holes.
