THE 150TH OPEN

July 14, 2022

Francesco Molinari

Mixed Zone

Q. Two quick ones in English. Tell us about your round today. What worked? What was harder?

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Yeah, I played pretty well. I just didn't putt well enough on the back nine. But, yeah, the course is playing as expected.

You can obviously put up a good score. If you hit the ball well off the tee, you're going to get some chances. 9 is drivable. 12 is drivable. 18 is drivable. So there are a few chances out there.

Q. So when you say that, I expect there's an element of fortune too that you can hit good shots and they can go in different places?

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Yeah, accepting that you're not 100 percent in control of where the ball goes, but that's always the same with the links golf, especially when it's as firm as it is now.
