Thorbjørn Olesen fired a course record 62 to take the opening round lead in Tenerife.

The 31-year-old only returned to competition last week after suffering a wrist injury and celebrating the birth of son earlier this month.

He finished fifth at the Gran Canaria Lopesan Open, carding a 61 in the second round and carried his form into this week, carding ten birdies to get to 9-under.

“To be honest my expectations for this week are low as well,” he said. “I was very happy to finish top five (last week), that was amazing. I haven’t been that high on a leaderboard for a very long time; being in contention again was a great feeling and something I’ve missed very much for the last few years.

“I don’t set high expectations now, I found something last week and was making birdies. Today my putting was great and no wind to start made it a bit easier. I’m trying to take every day as it is and concentrate on the shot and see what’s happening.”

“I think the first nine holes was the best putting display I’ve shown for a very long time – I just had to look at it and it went in.”

John Catlin and Garrick Higgo were a shot behind alongside Alexander Björk, with Dean Burmester also at eight under.
