Francesco Molinari

Quick Quotes

Q. Take us through the round. What was maybe the toughest part and the things that maybe you have to work on for tomorrow?

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Yeah, I think when we play the -- we got lucky the first probably five, six holes. The wind wasn't up yet. So it was definitely easier than it is now.

Yeah, then the wind got up. It's pretty windy. It's gusty. It's definitely not easy for anyone.

Q. Where did the wind particularly bother you as things went on? I heard something about 15.

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: There's no hole where it doesn't bother you, to be honest. Like I said, it's gusting. So even downwind, it's not easy to choose the right club. So, yeah, it makes it tricky, obviously, the greens and the course in general. It's soft after the rain, so that helps a little bit to counteract the rain.

Q. Just curious, since you obviously know Augusta well and have played it, with the number of people, what is a round with Tiger like when you're playing with him with the gallery and the patrons? What's the vibe like from where you stand as opposed to when you're playing with other groups?

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Well, the same as anywhere else, to be honest. When you play with him, it's busy. It's noisy. Yeah, so I don't think it makes a big difference if it's here or somewhere else.
