Piece of cake for Price

Phillip Price showed glimpses of his best form in the first round of the Madeira Island Open.

The former Ryder Cup star made a brilliant start in difficult conditions. With a gusty wind blowing around the hilltop Santo da Serra course, Price birdied the 10th, 11th and 12th holes as he started on the back nine, earning him generous applause from the small gallery of spectators.
