With Rory McIlroy still leading the Race to Dubai on the back of his second place in Augusta and then his top 10 at the PGA Championship, the DP World Tour is stopping off in the Netherlands this week for the Dutch Open. The players are therefore evolving this week on the Bernardus Golf where Kristoffer Borberg will defend his title. The leader of the European Order of Merit will not be present this week, however.

After the first round, it is Joost Luiten who occupies the first place of the leaderboard on his land. The double winner of the event returns a card of 65 (-7) with eight birdies for a single bogey. He is one step ahead of Eddie Pepperelle and Rasmus HØJGAARD. Victor Perez former 29th player in the world, returns the best French card during the first round of the Dutch Open. He plays 67 (-5), six birdies for a bogey.

Raphaël Jacquelin also distinguished himself during this first day with a 68 (-4). He signs two bogeys for four birdies and an eagle on hole 18. He ranks eighth. Kristoffer Broberg, defending champion, is placed alongside Raphaël Jacquelin in eighth position.
