Garrido reigns in Spain
Spain's Ignacio Garrido fired a course-record 63 to take a four-shot lead at the Spanish Open in Seville and claimed it to be the best round of his career. The 36-year-old, who had missed the cut in his last seven tournaments, rattled in nine birdies to finish 15 under par.
Sweden's Martin Erlandsson lies second on 11 under, while last week's winner Darren Clarke is 12 off the lead on three under.
Colin Montgomerie narrowly survived the cut on one under but John Daly crashed out at one over.
The day belonged to Garrido, who has sunk into relative obscurity since the PGA Championship in 2003. And he now has a magnificent chance to win the tournament won by his father Antonio 36 years ago.
"For two days it's probably the best I've ever played," said Garrido.
"I thought I couldn't play better than yesterday, but obviously I could. "It is a dream to do it here. I think for any player the most important tournament after a major is their own national championship."
