Thomas said after his round: “I played pretty well today, drove it well and hit some good iron shots, I just could not hole any putts, especially early on. My putting improved greatly on the back nine and it was good to convert some good iron play.
“I am excited with my play so far. Tomorrow we are on the other course, the Hills Course. It is a bit narrower than the Lakes Course and I personally think it is a better layout, so it should be another good day.”
Leading after round one is 30 year-old Felix Morey (Fr) with a 10 under 61, with six birdies, two eagles and the balance of his round all pars.
