BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIPMay 28, 2016Tyrrell HattonSurrey, England Q. 65, what a back nine for you today? TYRRELL HATTON: Yeah, very happy with that. I think it's my lowest round here, first round in the 60s, so very pleased. Q. How special is it to produce a performance like that at a place that I know has really inspired you as a player; tell everyone why you love this place so much? TYRRELL HATTON: I've been walking around this place since a five-year-old, and I was in awe of the guys inside of the ropes, and for me now, playing my third BMW PGA, it's great. I love this event. Q. You've given yourself such a good chance tomorrow obviously, but this has not come out of the blue. There was a fifth place in Ireland last week. To what do you account this really rich vein of form at the moment? TYRRELL HATTON: It's hard to say really. I did some really good work in Dubai before I went to China. Me and my caddie, we spent a few days out there and sort of got the wedges going really well. I think that's helped me a lot. I think just confidence, as well, having a good run. Just that, really. Q. How many of the locals do you think will be on the doorstep tomorrow to cheer you on? TYRRELL HATTON: Hopefully the more the better. I've got good support this week from my family and my girlfriend's family, so it's great. Q. How special is a round of 66 at this championship? TYRRELL HATTON: Very special. It's my lowest round here, first round in the 60s so very happy with that. I putted really nicely today. Holed a couple of good par putts. That kept the momentum going, and yeah, I took my chances. Q. And was that it, the form on the greens today, that made a difference compared to the two previous days? TYRRELL HATTON: A little bit. I think I just gave myself a few more chances today, so I think it's just down to that. Q. We use that word "special"; is it in part down to the history that you have at Wentworth, coming here as a lad and seeing the other golfers? TYRRELL HATTON: I think so. It just makes this tournament feel so much more special. I always look forward to this event. I've got good support here and it's nice to play well. Q. What are the earliest memories? TYRRELL HATTON: I remember, I think I was like six or seven, and I remember watching Hunter Mahan hit a tee shot down 12. That's probably my earliest memory of this place. Q. Is that one of the reasons why you got into golf yourself? TYRRELL HATTON: I've been playing from a young age, since I was three-year-old at Wycombe Heights, going around with my parents around the par 3 course there. So yeah, it's great to be playing. Q. Who is watching this week? TYRRELL HATTON: My girlfriend, Emily, her family. My mom is down from Scotland. My dad arrived last night; he was away on holiday, so he's here today, and I think there's a few members from Harleyford Golf Club. Q. Appreciate we don't know what the lead mark is going to be, but you've moved into a nice position into Sunday, haven't you? TYRRELL HATTON: Definitely. I don't know, I think they have still got nine holes to play, so I'll just go out there tomorrow and play my own game and what happens, happens. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
