Intro:

Reaction from leading players after Alexander Levy carded a flawless opening 65 at a damp Lake Malaren in the opening round of the BMW Masters on Thursday to lead by one shot at seven under par.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Alexander Levy, 7-under:

"Yeah I play very good today, bogey-free, I like that. I played very good golf. I work (over) the last few weeks on my putting and I putt well today. I think it's good for the rest of the last four tournaments."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Emiliano Grillo, 6-under: (on his birdie putt at the 18th to help him to 6-under)

"Yeah, I wasn't expecting that putt to go in to be honest, but I played pretty well the whole day. You know a lot of fairways and a lot of greens and made some good putts. I have been improving a lot on my putting, it's showing off all the good work and I hope to continue playing like this."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Edoardo Molinari, 2-under: (on his hole-in-one at the 4th)

"It was a four iron from 208 yards I think it was and it was down off the right and I have to be honest, I miss-hit it slightly but it still went in, so I will take it."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme McDowell, 5-under:

"Yeah, very happy with that obviously, I kind of got here on Tuesday morning, haven't really been feeling my best the last couple of days. It's a first sort of long trip of the year for me and the body took a little bit of time to catch up and thankfully a couple of nights sleep and I felt much, much better this morning. The energy levels felt good and generally swung the club quite well. Coming off the Volvo World Matchplay a couple of weeks ago, where I thought my game was in good shape, coming in here obviously looking for a big finish to the season and that was a nice way to start."
