Garcia storms through to finish the day

After watching some very interesting golf this afternoon, i was happy to see that not all is well in the American camp. A day dominated by the Europeans was very satisfying to watch. Apart from John Daly who briefly threatened Paul McGinley's lead at the top of the board, there was no other American really in sight...Not even a Tiger! Although the top rankers were there or there abouts, the european contingency shone throughout the first day. After a dazzling performance by Paul McGinley finishing up at 4 under, the field was then clear for the late tee-ers to take the hot spot on the leaderboard. However, the only person who could upset the apple cart was Spaniard Sergio Garcia who finished the day on 6 under.
Sweet maybe then that after his comments earlier in the week, Nick Faldo finished up with his worst ever championship opening score of 79. Hapy Birthday Nick!
