Wales still leading World Cup

Stephen Dodd and Bradley Dredge opened golf’s World Cup in sunny Portugal today with a superb better-ball 61 for Wales.

Dodd, making his debut in an event where the first prize is nearly £400,000 (€588,500) per man, had five birdies and Dredge, playing for the fourth year in a row and with his third partner, six to set the clubhouse target for the rest of the 24-team field.
