Billy Horschel

Quick Quotes

Q. Very brave of you to be rocking these pink trousers on a cold and wet day but it's worked out quite well for you?

BILLY HORSCHEL: It did. Listen, this month is Breast Cancer Aware Month and Ralph Lauren and their Pink Pony campaign, we are supporting it, so every birdie we make is $1,000, so we made quite a few of them today. We will be having pink the next three days as well. Doesn't matter what the weather looks like. We are going to bring some brightness to the weather the next few days.

Q. Absolutely love that and what was the strength of your performance out there? Mark reckons you hold about 160 feet of putts; I said 159.

BILLY HORSCHEL: Yeah, I putted very well today. I putt very well normally but today was one of those special days where the hole looked like the size of the ocean. Every putt, if it didn't go in, was burning the edge.

So yeah, it was a really good day of putting the ball on the green and making putts, and that's what I did, and I've got to do that the next few days to contend going into Sunday.

Q. You've openly said how much you love coming to Europe and we love having you here as well. What is it that you enjoy?

BILLY HORSCHEL: I'm more relaxed, I think that's the first thing. It's just more simplistic over here. I think you guys, you all work hard, you all want to better your life, but it's not the end all, be all. You guys enjoy what you have. You live in the present. In America, we are always, same thing, we are trying to better our lives but we are so much focused on the future and seeing what everybody else has versus what we don't have. I think I can get caught up in that a little bit.

Coming over here, it's just a little bit more simplistic, you enjoy what you have, you can be more present and that's why I've enjoyed coming over here the last couple years.
