04/30/2009 - Girona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Soren Hansen established a new course record Thursday with a nine-under 63 and grabbed the first-round lead of the Spanish Open.
Thomas Levet shot an eight-under 64 and is alone in second place at the Stadium Course at PGA Golf Catalunya.
Spain's Jose Manuel Lara and Callum Macaulay are knotted in third place at minus-seven.
Hansen's new course record looks even more remarkable if you consider the fact that he opened the championship with a double-bogey six at the very first hole.
It didn't take Hansen long to atone for the error at one. He birdied the par- four second and two-putted for a birdie at the 531-yard, par-five third.
"I think it was important that after I holed a good one on the second hole for birdie and then I followed it up with a nice shot into the par-five third," admitted Hansen.
The Ryder Cupper parred his next three, but went on another birdie run, starting at the par-five seventh. Hansen birdied eight and nine and made the turn at three-under 33.
On the second nine, Hansen parred his first two, but made eagle at the par- five 12th. At five-under par, Hansen was near the top of the leaderboard, but it was his play late in Thursday's opening round that secured him the top spot.
Hansen birdied three in a row from the 14th to match Levet at eight-under par. Hansen birdied the par-four finishing hole to grab sole possession of the first-round lead.
"I played well I must admit," said Hansen. "Had a lot of birdies after a rough start with the double-bogey, but then I played fantastic from there.
"It just seemed like I was rolling the ball nicely. If I put it on the green, there was always a chance. A few of them went in so that was nice. I played unbelievable."
Levet began on the 10th tee and rattled off four birdies on his opening nine. He tallied back-to-back birdies at two and three, then eagled the par-five seventh to get in at minus-eight.
Jarmo Sandelin and Chris Wood share fifth place at six-under 66, followed by Alejandro Canizares, Luis Claverie, Jan-Are Larsen, Charl Schwartzel and Marcel Sim, who are knotted in seventh at minus-five.
Defending champion Peter Lawrie shot a four-under 68 on Thursday and is part of a large group tied for 12th place. Paul Lawrie, the 1999 Open Champion, is also at minus-four.
Miguel Angel Jimenez carded a three-under 69, while European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie only managed an even-par 72.
