Jacobson takes charge
SOTOGRANDE (Spain), Oct 30: Sweden’s Fredrik Jacobson fired a brilliant eight-under-par 64 in tugging winds at Valderrama on Thursday to move two strokes clear of the field in the Volvo Masters first round.
The 29-year-old from Molndal, twice a winner on this season’s European Tour, mixed nine birdies with a bogey at the par-three 15th to complete the second-best round of his career.
Marginally better, he told a news conference, was the 60 he shot on the opening day of last month’s German Masters at Gut Larrchenhof.
Leading first round scores:
64 - Fredrik Jacobson (Sweden)
66 - Anders Hansen (Denmark)
68 - Carlos Rodiles (Spain)
70 - Nick O’Hern (Australia), Jose Maria Olazabal (Spain) —Reuters
