ISPS HANDA WALES OPEN


September 19, 2014


Nicolas Colsaerts


NEWPORT, WALES

Q.  66 yesterday, 68 today, which round gave you more pleasure?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Probably yesterday.  You know, yesterday was all smooth and nothing really happened, and today was a bit of both.  I started off very nicely, and two silly mistakes down the middle, two bogeys that I could easily avoid, and then shaved a bunch of holes on the back nine.  Nice little gesture on the last.

Q.  I was going to suggest that perhaps today gave you more pleasure because you stayed patient on the back nine.
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Yeah, I was very, very close of losing it because I thought I was playing quite well and I was playing quite solidly except for those two holes where I bogeyed.  But apart from that, yeah, I'm quite pleased with the way I'm playing.  I thought it looked pretty solid.

Q.  447 off 18 today; today, how far?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  110 yards shorter.

Q.  You're just like a powder puffer now; you're just like everybody else.
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Well, yesterday was a bit of a treat.  I thought I got a good bounce and it speed trapped on the right side of the fairway.  I think no one ever is going to hit a drive that long on that hole again (laughing).

Q.  So your second yardage was what?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Yesterday I had 130 yards and today I probably had like 245.

Q.  Still finished with an eagle?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Yeah, well, it didn't look that easy, big sloping putt and luckily it caught the hole.  But I shaved a few earlier, and I thought I was due a little help.

Q.  A little lift?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Yeah, kind of.

Q.  Going into the weekend, what do you think now?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS:  Well, I'm quite happy with the way I'm playing.  For whatever reason, I've always played well here.  It rewards good ball‑striking which is what my game is all about.  If you hit a lot of greens and if you can get it quite close on certain occasions, you're going to give yourself very good looks at birdies, which I did the last two days.
