REPLY: O and B...think of it this way. You wouldn't flag K if they were first to touch a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone, would you? No, you'd bag the spot because barring any fouls, R always has the right to begin their series at that spot. But there's no foul for K touching a kick in this manner. This is the same thing for free kicks. K touching a free kick before it goes ten yards is by rule also called "first touching."
