Day 1 Joburg Open 2009 Highlights

There's not a lot of big names in this week's field at the co sanctioned European Tour/Sunshine (South Africa) Tour's Joburg Open at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club Johannesburg, South Africa. But you will find the likes of Retief Goosen, defending champion Richard Sterne as well as Raphael Jacquelin, Henne Otto and Andrew McLardy. On a little side Canadian note you see Canadians Graham DeLaet and Wes Heffernan as well as London, Ont., resident Alan McLean teeing it up this week. They got in because the top available player on the previous year's Canadian Tour order of merit (limited to top five finishers) receives an exemption on the Sunshine Tour the following season while the top-50 receive associate membership status. Good stuff guys.
