ALSTOM OPEN DE FRANCE


July 4, 2013


Martin Kaymer


PARIS, FRANCE

Q.  Your thoughts on where you've started this tournament, please.
MARTIN KAYMER:  Good.  I hit a lot of good shots today, a lot of fairways, a lot of greens.  The greens were fantastic, even in the afternoon.  So there's no reason to find anything on the golf course that might reflect a bad round.  The golf course plays absolutely perfect and that was really nice to play.
I had a good group, really enjoyable to play with.  So there was nothing bad about that day.

Q.  I must admit, we were a little surprised that the afternoon was looking like it was going to be even better than the morning; the course really does hold up well, doesn't it.
MARTIN KAYMER:  I think we had a little bit of an advantage because there was not much wind in the end.  The last 12, nine holes there, was nothing really, so that was a big advantage to the guys that played in the morning.
But the course played perfect.  What I said earlier; the greens, usually they get worse in the afternoon, if you play regular European Tour events, but here, it was fantastic.  So I'm very glad.  But I do like the golf course anyways.  Obviously you hear that; I just enjoy being here.

Q.  And the atmosphere good for a first day?
MARTIN KAYMER:  Yeah, it was nice.  On the back nine, obviously there were a few more, because the TV groups who started in the morning, they were just finishing, so on the back nine we had a few more people.  Very good crowds.  Even a few guys they were for Matt.  He comes from America and there was a little European/American thing today.  He had a lot of fans out there and also we did, too.

Q.  Was there conversation between the two of you, as well as between the crowd?
MARTIN KAYMER:  There was nothing about The Ryder Cup or anything.  We all agreed that they don't need to change anything.
