Duo enjoy Swede start to World Cup

World number one Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann contributed four birdies each to propel Sweden into a share of the lead after a seven-under-par 65 in the opening day fourballs at the Women’s World Cup at Sun City in South Africa.

The favourites tied with South Korea’s Meena Lee and Bo Bae Song, with Scotland’s Catriona Matthew and Janice Moodie, and Wales’ Becky Morgan and Becky Brewerton in joint 10th place after a pair of 70s.
