ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIPOctober 1, 2015Stephen GallacherCarnoustie-Kingsbarns, Scotland STEPHEN GALLACHER: I tell you what, the courses are unbelievable. Best I've ever seen them. Q. Good day at the office? STEPHEN GALLACHER: It was nice. It was good. Started off spinning a ball back into the burn at the first. First time I had ever hit it -- that was a strange one. But as Shevchenko says, it's the first minute, 90 minutes left. Q. He said that? STEPHEN GALLACHER: No, I said that to him (laughter). My football analogy. Like losing a goal in the first minute, plenty of time. It was a really good fourball. I always quite enjoy this format. You get a good talk and a good sort of laugh. It is long if you but if get good company like today, it just flies. Q. He's a decent player, isn't he? STEPHEN GALLACHER: He's good. He's scratch. I wished he'd have fudged his handicap, pick up a few more shots. You can see he's played outside -- he's a great links player. Q. What was the highlights of the day? STEPHEN GALLACHER: Actually left some out there to be honest. Drove it on 9, 3-putted it. Drove it on 12, 3-putted it. Was up on both par 5s, one of those ones where I played really, really solid. I hit a few couple of drives, leaked three drives and got a away with them and that was it. Q. You say you like the format. Being a football man yourself, that must have added? STEPHEN GALLACHER: Well, I had never met Andriy before. I've played with Kroy three or four times. It's the hierarchy of the football echelons, is it not. I didn't mind until Shevchenko told he us he scored a winner at Parkhead for AC Milan. Q. Performance-wise? STEPHEN GALLACHER: As good as I've played for awhile. Struggled but changing coaches -- strange time to do it. Wouldn't have been preferential but it's hard to play when you're changing stuff. It's all right if you can take a bit of time off but it takes a wee bit of time to sort of commit to it and trust it. But at least coming back to a place like this that you know really well. I just sort of let it go a bit more, my swing thoughts and that. Q. Much changed? STEPHEN GALLACHER: A lot changed to be honest. My body feels better for it. I'm not in as much pain as I have been and that's the first plus point, and I know when I get it, it's going to be good. Just have to work a wee bit harder at it. Q. Birdies? STEPHEN GALLACHER: The fourth hole, really that was an Open flag, that one, that was a beauty. Back left, hit a drive, probably 9-iron yardage and turned it into the wind about eight-foot behind the hole and knocked it in. That and 13 are two of the tougher holes, but I hit the drive really good, 340 down the middle on both of them. I drove it good today apart from a couple. Really happy. Looking forward to Carnoustie tomorrow. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
