ABERDEEN STANDARD INVESTMENTS SCOTTISH OPENJuly 13, 2018Connor SymeGullane, Scotland Q. How are you feeling right now? CONNOR SYME: Ecstatic. It was a special round. I'm absolutely over the moon. Q. Great to get off to a fast start? CONNOR SYME: I think the big thing was certainly being 4-under through six, that's where you've got to make your score. I knew that to make the cut, I would have had to get off to a fast start. I started with three birdies, which was great, and yeah, got another one on 5, I think, and then you know, kind of hanging on, 7 is a really tough hole, gave myself a look for birdie and birdied 8 and 9. My first 29, which was nice. Yeah, just carried on very solid back nine. Q. Was a bit of a slow start for you yesterday. Were you conscious that you'd need a good score to make sure you're here for the weekend? CONNOR SYME: I knew 65 was the minimum requirement today after 71 yesterday, with the scoring being so good. Obviously happy with a fast start, put me right away on the cut line, projecting the cut, you know it's going to be lower than that. I got myself out of that little pack, which is obviously going to be the main target and then I could kind of free wheel from there. Q. How do you find the difference between the nines? Seems tougher when you get to the back nine? CONNOR SYME: Yeah, you've got to make your score on the front nine, definitely. The first, depends on your tee shot. You can give yourself a good look for birdie. There's a few good looks through 5, 6, 2, 3, 4 is a tough hole but you really need to start off well. If you're level par for them holes, you know you're behind, definitely. I think getting a few under par definitely relaxes you for the next tough stretch of holes. Q. A spot at Carnoustie up for grabs. Is that in the back of your mind after today? CONNOR SYME: It would obviously be a dream come true to play Carnoustie, being so close to home but definitely is in the back of the mind for now. It was obviously a goal at the start of the week was to give myself a chance to do it and after today I somewhat have. Positive through 36 holes but a long way to go.
