I'm very happy, this is a good start for me. I managed to produce a string of birdies and am definitely very satisfied. It's my best round this year.

It's a good course for a long driver. I think it's quite challenging.

It was good just to string a few shifts together and start playing as a team and getting one good shift after the other.

I am obviously really happy to get off to a good start. It's always nice to feel like you get into the tournament from the word go. That's what happened today. I birdied my second and third holes. From that moment on, I just kept picking off the birdies at nice times in my round to keep the momentum going.

The essence of tapping is this: By hammering the string against the fret board with your finger, you can produce a note with one hand.

I'm just happy to get in there and start playing.
