06/07/2007 - Vienna, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Playing so poorly earlier in the week, Graeme Storm withdrew from a U.S. Open qualifier.
Obviously, he left his poor play at Walton Heath.
Storm tied the course record of eight-under-par 63 Thursday to take a one- stroke lead after the opening round of the BA-CA Golf Open at Fontana Golf Club.
Sweden's Martin Erlandsson is one stroke out of the lead. He ran off five straight birdies en route to a seven-under-par 64.
Patrik Sjoland shares third place with Shaun P. Webster and Tom Whitehouse at minus-six.
Storm explained his decision to pull out of the qualifier.
"I'd missed three cuts and I was playing so badly, I thought trying to qualify on Monday would be a waste of time," said Storm, who has missed the cut in three straight starts and four of the last five overall. "And even if I'd qualified it would have been a lot of money and a long way to go and maybe not break 80."
Playing the back nine first at Fontana, Storm caught fire early with three birdies over the first four holes. A birdie at the par-five 15th moved Storm to minus-four.
At the par-five 18th, Storm drained a 25-footer for eagle to take the lead at six-under. Around the turn, he parred seven straight.
Storm sank a seven-footer for birdie at eight and came right back with an up- and-down birdie at the ninth to match the course record.
"I wasn't even going to play here," admitted the 29-year-old Storm. "But I worked on my game over the weekend and decided I had to try to play through my bad spell. I arrived for the pro-am on Wednesday in the same car as Ian Garbutt and he watched me for a while and spotted something in my takeaway. His tip helped me today."
Erlandsson tripped out of the gate with a bogey at the first. He rebounded to birdie No. 2, but then parred the next six holes.
The Swede birdied the ninth to make the turn at minus-one. He ran off five consecutive birdies from the 11th before a two-putt birdie at the last moved him into second place.
Five-time European Ryder Cupper Lee Westwood posted a five-under-par 66 Thursday. He was joined in sixth place by Daniel Denison, Richard Green, Richard McEvoy, Gary Lockerbie and Francois Calmels.
Further down the leaderboard, Miguel Angel Jimenez is tied for 18th at minus- three and defending champion Markus Brier shares 44th at one-under-par 70.
Two other European Ryder Cup stalwarts struggled Thursday as Darren Clarke and Colin Montgomerie are among a group tied in 101st at plus-two.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
