Britain's Laura Davies would love to turn the clock back in the £400,000 Welch's/Circle K Championship starting in Tucson, Arizona, today. The 35-year-old star won the event over the same Randolph North course back in 1988 - but she is far from confident of staging a repeat.

"Back then, the course was much lusher and played longer," said Davies, famous for her big hitting. "Now it's very short and I've missed the cut eight out of 10 times."
