Quick Quotes

Q. No bogeys, absolutely flawless. How did it feel out there?

THORBJØRN OLESEN: Yeah, it was good. I thought again today was tricky. The greens are getting firmer and firmer through the day and faster.

So it's really tricky when you start missing the fairway, which I did quite a few times, and head to the green and hopefully 2-putt.

So, again, today my lag putting was excellent and I cleaned up really good.

Q. On day one you were coming off an off season, you described yourself as a surprising round of golf. But describe for me it's tricky now. You know, has that allowed you to tunnel your vision a little bit more, bearing in mind the difficulty?

THORBJØRN OLESEN: Yeah, I think obviously when you put a couple of good rounds together, you get a bit of confidence and believe in yourself and you feel like you haven't done that much work.

So I've carried that over the last two days, and I definitely have a bit more confidence in myself now going into tomorrow than I did on Wednesday, that's for sure.

Q. What's been your game plan up till now? Will you be looking to repeat that going into tomorrow?

THORBJØRN OLESEN: Yeah, I think my game plan so far since the first day has been like pretty safe, safe shots. Tried to be aggressive from the tee, but then play pretty safe in the second shot and hopefully hit some good putts.

Like I said, I felt like it's tricky, so it's really hard to go after some of these pins. So I think a bit the same, and then hopefully I can keep rolling the ball very nicely tomorrow.
