UNKNOWN SWEDE KARIN SHOOTS 68
TO LEAD BY TWO IN ST RULE TROPHY

THIRTEEN years ago a then-unknown Swedish player, Annika Sorenstam, won the St Rule Trophy on her way to winning fame and a small fortune on the United States LPGA Tour.
Could Karin Borjeskog, also from Sweden, be Annika Sorenstam Mark II? The suggestion is made because she spreadeagled the 2003 St Rule Trophy field today with a brilliant opening round of seven-under-par 68 over the New Course in bright but breezy conditions which were not easy.
Karin, who had played the course only once before, in a practice round on Friday, birdied the third, fourth, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th and 18th and had even had one bogey, at the fifth, in the following figures which may well be a women's course record:
OUT: 4 4 4 3 4 5 4 5 3 - 36 (one under par).
IN: 4 3 4 3 3 3 5 3 4 - 32 (six under par)
