Swede dreams as Jacobson shoots record 64

SWEDE Fredrik Jacobson left Lee Westwood trailing an amazing 17 strokes behind with a record-breaking start to the Algarve Portuguese Open.

And nobody was more amazed than Jacobson himself by an eight under par 64 which knocked two strokes off the Vale de Lobo record.

"I didn't expect that I probably lost five balls in practice yesterday," said the 28-year-old, playing his first round after a 10-week lay-off resting a left wrist injury that still has not fully cleared up.
