Intro:

Leader Graeme Storm, Martin Kaymer and Peter Hanson talk after the first round of the KLM Open in the Netherlands on Thursday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Graeme Storm, KLM Open Leader
"The golf course here was fantastic. It's the best I've seen it, condition-wise and you know, you've got to hit the ball straight to give yourself chances and that's what happened for me today."

SOUNDBITE (German) Martin Kaymer, Tied for second
"I had a good score. I've taken some time off and I've worked hard at my game. I'm making good progress and last week I spent at home. In golf it's always little things and you can turn your game around with a little hard work."

SOUNDBITE (German) Martin Kaymer, Tied for second
"Jose Maria (Olazabal) said I played well at the best moment. It's an exciting time, a great sporting occasion. The Ryder Cup in Wales was the first time I'd been involved, but Chicago will be something different. It's a big city with a strong sporting tradition and now the Ryder Cup is being held there."

SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Hanson, Tied for fifth
"Yeah, I mean playing conditions were really good, you know? No wind this morning and this golf course is in pristine condition, it's really good, so the greens were perfect and the fairways were good, so it's kind of nice, you can really work on every part of your game and really see where you are... and it's very important for me, where I am now, three weeks away from Ryder Cup, so it was a good test today."
