  • Intro:

    Reaction after Oliver Fisher shot a seven-under-par opening round 65 to take a one-stroke lead at the Qatar Masters in Doha on Wednesday (21st January).

    Script:

    1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE: (English) Oliver Fisher, Qatar Masters leader on seven-under-par:

    "It was obviously, really nice. I started well, I started on ten and made a good pitch, that pin's quite difficult on the tenth, and hit a good pitch into four feet. So, it's always nice to start with birdie round here and I think the tenth is a bit of a.... we play that wind off the left all day on the range and get on the first hole and it's obviously straight out of the left again, so.... it was nice to start like that and made a few birdies at the later part of the turn - 16, 17, 18 - and then the front nine I actually played lovely. I gave myself a lot of chances, missed them on one, two, three, made one on four, made a good up-and-down on five and then played nice coming in, so, made a good six-footer for par on the last, on nine. That's a tough pin when it gets, put back there, so.... it was a good round. I'm happy with the way I've played and hopefully I can keep on hitting it like that the next few days."

    2. 00:44 SOUNDBITE: (English) Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Second on six-under:

    "Obviously minus six today, very pleased, very happy with the way I played and looking forward to tomorrow and the weekend."

    4. 01:10 SOUNDBITE: (English) Ernie Els, Joint third on five-under:

    "It was a nice round, bogey-free. I made quite a few putts to save pars, but, took my chances when I got them. The driver is going quite nicely. I can hit my iron shots a little bit better. I wasn't quite sharp with them, but got to be happy with that round."

    6. 01:52 SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Foster, Joint third on five-under (on the Doha Golf Club course):

    "Yes, it gets better every year I think, this place. The greens this year are as good as I've seen them and it's still the same test, from tee to green, which, I think it's a great course."

    9. 02:25 SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Gallacher, Joint 14th on four-under:

    "Yes, I'm very happy with that. No bogeys (in my) first round since early December, so it's good to get off to a good start."
