Dane Joachim B. Hansen signed for a bogey-free 63 to take the opening lead of the AVIV Dubai Championship at 9-under on Thursday, matching his lowest round on the European Tour.

“I had some good practice days with my coach here the last few days, my game yesterday looked solid. Good warm up on the range today and had confidence going out there and it showed itself out there.

“I loved it, no wind, perfect conditions and lovely to play in. I kept the ball in play, hit a lot of fairways in the first 14 holes but I holed the putts I needed, missed a few ones but you can’t hole them all."

“The greens are quite soft and they stop pretty quick when it’s not down grain so you’ve got a lot of opportunities when you’re hitting from the fairway."

Hansen started the week 85 th in the Race to Dubai rankings and is hoping to make it to the top 51 to secure his third consecutive appearance in the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.

Should he take the title on Sunday he would be the fourth Danish winner in the last ten Tour events.
