Erlandsson puts big names in the shade

The sun shone, but the big names did not in the opening round of the Spanish Open in Seville on Thursday.

Leader by one after a seven-under-par 65 was Swede Martin Erlandsson, only 345th in the world, and his two closest challengers were Spaniards Ignacio Garrido and Jordi Garcia, respectively ranked 350th and 1,102nd.
