European Tour Members enjoyed an excellent first day at the Masters Tournament, with seven inside the top ten at Augusta National.
Here, we take a look at what some of them had to say following their rounds as they look to chase down leader Jordan Spieth.
Justin Rose(T4 -3)
"That's an unexpected good score. When you look at the leaderboards, the guys are obviously figuring it out and able to get round the course today. I'd have taken 69 before teeing off.
"If you look at this tournament last year, I don't think I did anything wrong particularly, I just got beaten by a record performance. I was right there. I was shooting good scores, good numbers, I was just beaten by some really great performances. I'm not trying to change gears or do anything different, just keep knocking on the door."
Sergio Garcia(T4 -3)
"It was good. I got on a good stretch there. I felt like I played well all day. I just had a couple of mess ups with the putter early on. A couple of three putts and stuff like that. But I hit a lot of good shots. I was quite aggressive. So, I was happy with that.
"Then I just had to wait for the right time for things to get going my way and fortunately for me it kind of happened from the ninth hole onwards."
Ian Poulter(T4 -3)
"There's a long way to go. Six years ago I had a couple 68s, and it's never over around this golf course. We've seen it from a lot of players through the years. I'm up to the challenge, but obviously it's round one. Things don't really happen until the back nine on Sunday. So between now and then there's a lot of good golf needs to be played before you put yourself in position to have a go at anybody."
Søren Kjeldsen(T4 -3)
"I am really pleased. I was standing on the range before we played and the wind was very strong and this course is tough enough without the wind. So I knew it would be a tough day. I was two over par after seven but I managed not to panic and then got a little bit of momentum that I took advantage of every time I had a good chance for birdie. All in all it was a really nice day."
Danny Willett(T9 -2)
"It was tricky out there. It was swirling and tough to judge a lot of shots but the scoring is still relatively good. Even par was a good score today and anything better than that means you have probably picked up a couple of shots on the field.
"I am enjoying these big events now and I am playing well in them and expecting to play well in them. Hopefully we can put another good round on the board tomorrow and get in with a chance over the weekend."
Lee Westwood(T13 -1)
"It's tough out there. Very tricky. No real sort of gimmie holes. The flags were, considering that there was going to be wind, they weren't by any means easy. So I'm delighted with under par for the most part.
"I just need to start playing well again and working on the swing and working on everything, really. I had six weeks off before the WGC-Dell Match Play and didn't do much work on my game as well. I have three weeks to hit balls now and it's starting to feel a few good feelings in it."
