2003 Volvo Masters Andalucia – Saturday – Moving Day
After over nine inches of rain in the last two weeks and near two measures of the wet stuff in just a couple of hours yesterday, even Valderrama looked sorry for itself by the announcement of no play. Barely sixteen hours later, as Nick Faldo went out in the first group, the majesty of this special place had returned. How would the players take to around 36 holes in the day, to try and catch up on the tournament schedule?

Unfortunately this picture does not reflect what was a day of terrible weather. At 3pm, it was highly unlikely that even a few holes could have been completed, so for Saturday, players were to be paired in 3-balls and 36 was more than likely. For today s feature, instead of golf coverage, you can read all about how and why Colin Montgomerie has identified the reasons behind his slump in form - and how he is now really looking forward to this Championship and next year
Volvo Masters Andalucia – Day 1 – Freddie Rules!
Around Valderrama in under 3 hours is possible only if you are on your own. It’s a testament to the fitness of the Tour stars today that the player who managed this feat was playing so fast that his scorer could not keep up …. both of these points are just jests about the opportunity that Anders Hansen saw and took when he played ‘solo’ at the head of the field for the first day of the 2003 Volvo Masters.

Warm, but wet, greeted the players after the distinctly ‘British’ weather of the Telephonica Madrid Open. ‘Warm’ in Costa Del Sol late October terms is 18 deg+ and ‘wet’ equates to enough rain in an hour to fill a reservoir. Its tropical October in Southern Spain but one person was not ‘thunderous’ (as he can be) courtesy of a win in Macau and the thought of playing a course he really likes. If any one player is guaranteed to fill the press centre, its Colin Montgomerie. He possesses a wit and willingness (and definite ability) to take any question and either answer it or send it straight back to the journalist concerned with additions to be responded to – and he is more than ready to talk on matters of the (golfing) world – that is unless there is ‘storm’ on the horizon.
