GIRONA, Spain, April 30 (UPI) -- Denmark's Soren Hansen shot a course record 9-under-par 63 Thursday and took a 1-stroke lead at the European Tour's Spanish Open at Girona, Spain.
His unlikely first-round total came despite a double-bogey 6 at the first hole. Nine birdies and an eagle at the par-5 12th followed his ominous start.
