Dodd and Dredge in the frame

World Cup winners Stephen Dodd and Bradley Dredge were back together today. On the leaderboard at the £2.4m (€3.4m) European Open in Dublin.

Others may have lost their cool in the windy conditions – Dutchman Maarten Lafeber threw his putter in a lake when he still had eight holes to play – but the Welsh pair showed the same battling qualities that made them world champions last November.
