Jonathan (brother and caddie) looked at me and said: "I don't think I've ever seen you not make a single birdie", says the golf star.

74 strokes – after two bogeys and the rest par – was the result for Grant. Le Golf National put her and the other female players to the test during the first round.

Absolutely. It's tough out there. A bad shot and it can be a double bogey, says Grant

I barely hit any fairways at all, which makes this course quite a bit more difficult. But it didn't get away from me. I'm still in it.

Linn Grant knows what it takes for her to be in the medal hunt this weekend.

I want to hit my drives a bit better. If I can do that and give myself a few more chances, there are birdies out there.

The male players praised the crowd and atmosphere last week. Grant agreed after her Olympic Games debut:

It's incredibly cool when you stand on the fairway and see all the people. And it makes it a bit extra nervous.

Maja Stark, the other Swede in the competition, was also three over par after 14 holes. But after three birdies on the last four holes, Stark went down to par and a shared 12th place.

The Frenchwoman Celine Boutier is currently leading at seven under par.
