Few would have predicted Caroline Hedwall’s name to sit atop the leaderboard after the first round of the OMEGA Dubai Moonlight Classic. No one, not even the 31-year-old Swede herself, could have imagined the way she achieved her surprise lead either at Emirates Golf Club.

Read all about Hedwall’s opening 65, headlined by a slam-dunk hole in one, in the official OMEGA Dubai Moonlight Classic Daily News here, and don’t miss the feature on Dubai-domiciled pros Alison Muirhead and Olivia Jackson who are at opposite ends of the leaderboard but both happy with their first days work on The Faldo.

The gates to Emirates Golf Club might be closed to the public but you’re not shut out of the action. You can watch LIVE televised coverage on Sky Sport in the UK and Ireland, Dubai Sports Channel in the UAE and NBC’s Golf Channel in the U.S. and other territories. You can also scroll through the ISSUU link below or download Thursday’s ODMC Daily News to your favourite device to read offline and keep for prosperity.

This is a historic OMEGA Dubai Moonlight Classic after all. Enjoy and stay tuned for the ODMC Daily News review of the second round, out bright and early Friday.
