Press Conference

Q. A 70 which included four birdies and two bogeys. How does that leave you feeling?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: Pretty satisfied with shooting under par today. I wasn't playing fantastic but I managed to scramble my way around again, and shoot a decent score. It wasn't easy.

Q. Describe the experience of playing alongside your identical twin in contention in this iconic championship?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: It was pretty cool. We both said to each other off the first, let's have a good day. And I know it can get a bit intense out there, but we're not the most -- we don't talk as much normally, both of us. So it can get a little quiet out there. But it was cool to play together.

Q. You made a fabulous 16 birdies and an eagle in three rounds but you have made nine bogeys. If you can eliminate the mistakes tomorrow, do you feel there's a low one out there for you?

RASMUS HØJGAARD: I would say so, yeah, but I've got to be realistic. I'm not hitting the ball very well at the moment. Yeah, if I can limit it to a couple bogeys a round, that's pretty good for me.

But yeah, it would be nice to just tweak the tee shots a little bit. Try not to make too many mistakes.
