00:00Hello it's Martin Dempster the Scotsman golf correspondent here coming to you from the
00:10old course at St Andrews. Play not quite finished yet in the opening round of the AIG Women's
00:17Open, quarter past eight at night. It's been a long day here, the first groups teed off
00:25at seven o'clock and boy was it windy for the most part of the day as had been expected.
00:32However remarkably there were no delays due to that wind and the opening round is going
00:42to be completed on schedule. The pace had been set in the clubhouse by China's Ronnie
00:51Yin. She produced a remarkable effort this morning, she was six under at one point, eventually
00:58settled for a four under par, 68 and it really did look as though that would be the leading
01:04score at the end of the opening day. However the afternoon starters got a bit of a break,
01:11it's still windy but for the last three or four holes the wind had dropped and helped
01:19by that England's Charlie Hull. She shot a five under par 67, almost holed her second
01:27shot at the last, finished with a birdie and she leads by a shot at the end of the opening
01:34day. Alongside Yin on four under par is the world number one Nellie Corder playing in
01:41the same group as Hull and defending champion Lilia Vu. Corder birdied three of the last
01:48five holes including a 3-3 finish and she was certainly delighted with her start. As
01:54was the aforementioned Lilia Vu, she is in a group on three under par. The two Scots
02:01in the field in her last appearance in the event, Katrina Matthew the 2009 winner, she
02:07shot a five over 77 and Gemma Dryborough had to settle for a seven over par 79, meaning
02:14both of them have work to do in tomorrow's second round to make the cut. To keep up to
02:21date with everything to do with the AIG Women's Open, pick up the Scotsman or log on to Scotsman.com.
