Maximum value of each line entry

Dear power users,

I have a file like this:

AA 8
AA 6
AA 5
AA 4
AA 3
BB 9
BB 4
BB 3
BB 2
ZZ 5
ZZ 3
ZZ 1
...
The characters in colum one are variously different until the end of the file. I want to extract the maximum value of each entry in column one, so the output will be like this:

AA 8
BB 9
ZZ 5
...

Anybody could help me to made the script, since the file consist of about 10.000 lines? I have search in the rest of the forum, but found no clue. Tx
