Dubai Desert Classic (Day One)
What a good day for our guys today with the outright leader and tied second after Day One. Also picked up a 66/1 First Round Leader winning bet plus an 80% FRL place at 40/1 so in profit before the real action starts.
Thorbjorn Olesen 40/1 Par - Tied 64th
Rafa Carera Bello 35/1 -5 Tied 2nd
Thomas Pieters 35/1 +4 Tied 118th
Stephen Gallacher 70/1 -2 Tied 29th
Alex Noren 75/1 -6 FIRST
A long way to go and four of our five had the better weather today with only Gallacher due to get it tomorrow. Having said that, the wind wasn't that extreme. Rory is looking ominous on -4 without really getting out of first gear and there won't be many that finish in front of him this week.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
