Great Dane Lisa equals LET

scoring low with 11-under 62

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE

Lisa Holm Sorensen has equalled the LET’s all time lowest rounds with an eleven-under-par 62 on a scorching first day at the SAS Ladies Masters.
The 26-year-old Dane posted eleven birdies at Larvik Golfklubb in Norway. She fired six birdies over the back nine, which she played as her first, before carding a further five over the front nine.
The record of eleven-under-par was previously set by England’s Kirsty Taylor during the first round of the 2005 Wales Ladies Championship and then equalled by Swede Nina Reis at last year’s Goteborg Masters at Lycke Golf Club in Sweden. However both courses were par 72s, unlike Larvik, which is a par 73.
Lisa, who won the 2005 Finnair Masters in Finland when the final round was cancelled due to bad weather, hit 17 greens in regulation and had just 25 putts for her best ever round.
" I’m really pleased because I’ve been working really hard and today it just clicked, "she said.
The next best score was English player Samantha Head’s seven-under 66, which included eight birdies and two bogeys.

Top Scot was Michele Thomson, returning to the LET after having to miss last week's AIB Irish Ladies Open at Portmarnoch because, with the inclusion of GB&I women's amateur team for the Vagliano Trophy, there was no room in the field for Michele and others in her LET category of membership.

Michele, pictured above by Cal Carson Golf Agency, matched the par of 73. Fellow Scots Vikki Laing, Clare Queen and Lynn Kenny were on the 74 mark.
