There are three types of Golfer that interest me - the world’s best (Tiger Woods), Golf’s characters (John Daly and Ian Poulter) and young golfers with the potential to be the best.  One such, young golfer, whose progress I’ve followed with interest is Rory Mcllroy.

After a promising debut Mcllroy went a bit quiet, but after six months into his professional career, the Ulsterman has once again confirmed his potential with a 68 in the first round of the Andalucian Open, held at Aloha GC, Marbella, Spain.  His performance was overshadowed though by another young golfer, and former Walker Cup team- mate, hoping also to go Pro. 

Yorkshire Golfer Danny Willett, playing on a Sponsor’s invite, hit an Eagle on his first hole and went on to card a 66 for his European Tour debut.  At the end of the first day, the World’s No. 1, top amateur (who plays off a plus 5 handicap) would have shared the overnight lead with defending champion Lee Westwood, had he not bogeyed the final hole.  God willing (Willett’s father is a clerygman) he will go on to win and turn Pro, on Sunday.

It was a good day too for Jose Maria Olazabal who was returning from seven months out with rheumatic pains. Concerned for his future at the end of last year, the double US Masters champion opened with a one-under 71, which he claimed was “better than I expected”.
