Quick Quotes

Q. Kristoffer, 65 to open your week in France. Can you sum up today's round for us?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Very, very pleased. I hit the ball way better than I have done recently. So, yeah, very, very pleased with that. And, yeah, got a couple of putts to roll in as well. So that was a good day.

Q. You mentioned a couple of putts, a few birdies and an eagle. What really clicked for you out there today?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: I think just getting the ball into the fairway, you know, just makes the course that much easier, so doing that. I mean, normally I'm pretty good with the driver and off the tee. So, yeah, to have that today, yeah, out here on this golf course makes a huge difference.

Q. You mentioned the course. You've played this course, I mean, many times, but we're back here after the first time in a couple years. What did you make of the new layout?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Yeah, it was good. I mean, it doesn't really make a huge difference to the course, in my opinion. So it kind of blends in nicely.

But, yeah, this is probably one of my absolute favourites in Europe, at least continental Europe. And, yeah, it's just a pleasure to come back here. So, yeah. I really like this track.
