Sorenstam on top

World number one Annika Sorenstam enjoyed a magical day on the greens to lead the €521,400 Dubai Ladies’ Masters with a course-record first round of 65 at the Emirates Golf Club today.

English teenager Kiran Matharu could also be proud of her effort as she fired a four-under-par 68 to share third place in a group that included fellow Englishwoman Kirsty Taylor.
