Press Conference

Q. Six shots back, you're back into the mix but you said it was ab interesting day just describe that?

RYAN FOX: Yeah, I've been fighting it a little bit the last week or so. It wasn't a great weekend last weekend. There were some positive signs this week, but I fought it a lot yesterday.

I will say that it felt great early but had a couple of good shots and got away with a couple of things. Made an interesting par on 4, almost hitting it into the hazard and sort of got away with a few bad shots.

And sort of caught fire a little bit on the back nine. I hit some better shots. Got a little lucky a couple times on 13 and 14 and took advantage and probably left a couple out there the last two holes. You feel like you should birdie one of those, 17 or 18. But it's nice to be back in the mix at least.

Q. The game is always coulda, woulda, shoulda, right.

RYAN FOX: Yeah.

Q. But you've elevated your game to a whole new level in the last year or so. What would it mean to you to walk away potentially with two trophies in one week?

RYAN FOX: Yeah, that would be amazing. As I said, I've been fighting it, so probably wasn't the goal at the start of the week. It was just find some good shots and try to shoot a couple of good scores. I managed to do that. Hopefully I can figure it out on the range this afternoon and make a run at it.

To get the Seve award earlier in the week, I would like to say a dream come true but I probably didn't even think it was that to be honest. To join those names on that trophy was amazing and yeah, I'll certainly be giving it a good crack tomorrow to see if I can get two.
