Dream opening day for McGinley’s men

GREAT BRITAIN and Ireland captain Paul McGinley warned his players not to get carried away after a dream first day of the Vivendi Seve Trophy at St-Nom-La-Breteche saw them take a 4-1 lead over Continental Europe.

The Europeans were in dominant mood, none more so than Scott Jamieson and Ross Fisher who beat Peter Hanson and Raphael Jacquelin 6&4.

“It’s important to pace ourselves,” McGinley said. “We have had a great start – a brilliant start – but there’s a long, long way to go, a lot of points to be played for yet.”
