Where has Alex Norén got a nice start and is seventh after the first speldagen. The swede went around in 67 strokes, four under par, and is only two strokes behind the leading irishman Shane Lowry. Jonas Blixt is a little further down in the results list. With 69 strokes, he shares 27th place with, among others, Matt Kuchar.
Francesco Molinari, who with four holes left to play and led the U.S. Masters, looks to have recovered from the mental tension last Sunday. The Italian is shared 111:a, nine strokes from the lead.
