Reaction following the first round from the KLM Open in the Netherlands on Thursday (September 10).

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lawrie, Scotland:

"Yeah it even sounds good doesn't it - a 61! Yeah I mean I played nicely to be fair. I hit the ball really solid and putted really well. I putted very well. I have been putting a lot better this last little while. My new Caledonia is doing the trick."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Paul Lawrie, Scotland:

"Yeah I had a long putt at seven for eagle. I hit a lovely three wood in there and I think had that popped in maybe birding the last two holes wouldn't have been asking too much so at the back of your mind it is in there but 61 - still a good effort."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Soren Kjeldsen, Denmark:

"Yeah it was really nice. This is one of my favourite courses we play all year. So I was really looking forward to coming back here. I had a couple of weeks off after Denmark and practice has been really good. So, I was ready to go today and sometimes expectations get a little bit high when you feel so well coming in to the tournament. I stayed nice and relaxed today and I played like I hoped I was hoping to play."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Joost Luiten, the Netherlands:

"Yeah I mean, that is the start you are hoping for you know. played some solid golf, no bogeys today. I think that was the key, keeping mistakes off the card and waiting for chances and I got a couple of nice ones on the back nine."

SOUNDBITE: (English) David Horsey, England:

"It is yeah. It was on there this morning. It was soft and there wasn't much wind. I didn't feel like I had the ball quite under control as I have done recently but holed a few putts there, certainly on the back nine. Yeah obviously, very pleased with anything sort of that sort of score in the first round is always nice."
