HELSINGOER, Denmark - In her final tournament in Europe, Annika Sorenstam shot a 2-under 71 Friday to trail by five shots after the first round of the Nykredit Masters.

Martina Eberl of Germany birdied six of the last seven holes for a 66, taking a one-shot lead in the 54-hole tournament.Sorenstam, who will retire at the end of the season, shot par through 14 holes before she birdied the next two.

"I'm not satisfied and it could have been better," Sorenstam said. "I did what I could today but I didn't really get it together. I should have taken more advantage of two of the par 5s."
