PGA European Tour Leaderboard: BMW International Open Round 1 Recap, Highlights and Scores [VIDEO]

The first day of the 2015 BMW International Open came to a close on Thursday, with Lasse Jensen and Rafa Cabrera-Bello tying for the lead with Daniel Gaunt.

Andrew Johnston is just one stroke behind, while Victor Riu, James Morrison, Henrik Stenson and two others round out the top eight. Below is a recap of the first day's events (via PGA Tour).

What They're Saying

Rafa Cabrera-Bello: "I've been playing good the last couple weeks and I'm feeling good with my game. Today the difference maybe was I think I putted very good, especially on the back nine. I've also played good on this course before. I think 2011 or 2012 [it was 2010], I finished third. I've had other decent performances here, as well."

Daniel Gaunt: "When you get off to a good start like that, it kick starts your day. All I wanted to do was just keep progressing from there and chase down the leaders, really. To hole that putt on the last, and a great shot in to finish with a really good putt again was the icing on the cake today."

Dane Jensen: "I'm very happy and pleased. I think it's a great start for this event. You're always a bit excited when you come into this part of the season. There's a few big events coming up, so hopefully my game is getting in shape and I can build on from this round."
