THE 151ST OPEN

Emiliano Grillo

Mixed Zone

EMILIANO GRILLO: This is what I'm here for. I love it. I'm here to play as many holes as I can with the lead and just enjoy. It's one of the greatest honours in the world, and I'm up there.

I guess goal achieved for today.

Q. What are the expectations going into tomorrow?

EMILIANO GRILLO: Just one shot at a time, hit the fairway, hit the green, then make the putt every hole. That's kind of the strategy every day that you go out and play, and today that was the case again.

Q. When you won the Charles Schwab, after winning you said you were so determined to win. How much would it mean to win your first major?

EMILIANO GRILLO: Yeah, so have a long way for that, but obviously it's everything. The four majors are the things that we want the most. Everybody is here with the same goal. Everybody is here to do the same, play the best and lift the Claret Jug on Sunday.

That's kind of the goal.

Q. What's the strategy for tomorrow?

EMILIANO GRILLO: I don't know what the weather is like tomorrow, so once I see that, I will know better. But again, same strategy. The strategy when you stand on the first tee doesn't change. You've got to hit that first fairway and go from there.
