Seemingly satisfied Tapio Pulkkanen arrived to the clubhouse handing in the score of 68, four under par. With his first round score of 75 Pulkkanen's total score is -1, which lifted him to share the 19th place. His score could have been even better, but unfortunate double-bogey on the 18th hole took away his chances to be the best Finn of the day. " Final hole left a somewhat bitter taste, when my aggressive play for par turned to double-bogey. This is still my best score ever on this Linna Golf course. I find my chances pretty good, if I can keep this momentum going." analyzed Pulkkanen.
