After all the hoopla of the WGC Cadillac Match Play in San Francisco and the Players Championship in Florida the world's best men have gone their separate ways. The European Tour is in Barcelona where Miguel Jimenez defends his Spanish Open championship.
With round one in the books it's South Africa's Trevor Fisher Jr who only managed nine holes of practice at El Prat on Tuesday before walking the rest of the course during the pre-tournament pro-am who fired eight birdies and just one bogey in an opening 65 which left him one shot ahead of local favourite Eduardo de la Riva and England's Tommy Fleetwood.
Fleetwood had two eagles and three birdies in a round of 66 as he looks to remain inside the Official World Golf Ranking's top 60 after next week's BMW PGA Championship in order to qualify for next month's US Open.
Defending champion Miguel Angel Jiménez, whose victory 12 months ago extended his record as the oldest winner in European Tour history, had been two under after five holes but eventually had to settle for a level par 72 while pre tournament favourite Sergio Garcia will be disappointed with his opening round +3 75
