Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Let's welcome Dean Burmester from Stinger GC.

Dean, well played today. A second consecutive score of 68. You're currently tied third at 8-under par here at the tournament LIV Golf Korea presented by Coupang Play. Could you just share some thoughts about your round today. How are you feeling about your game this week?

DEAN BURMESTER: First of all, thank you. I'm glad to be sitting here. The round was kind of up-and-down, had a lot of good moments. There's a lot of room for improvement. Any time you're sitting in the position I'm in, I think you should be happy. That's where I'm at.

A couple poor decisions, a couple of soft bogeys there. Take that on, it's a pretty flawless round of golf today. So I'm happy, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Q. You've had four hole-outs this week, including a hole-in-one yesterday. Do you think it's starting to be your week when you're making shots from everywhere?

DEAN BURMESTER: Sometimes that just happens, you know. You get the rough and the smooth of this game. Sometimes they go in. Other times they horseshoe. Other times they hit the flag and go in the water like what happened to Anirban today.

We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully I have a day like Lucas Herbert because it looks like Bryson is playing pretty nicely, so he's going to be tough to catch. Have a day like he had last week Sunday, and then we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Q. You're currently ninth in the standings at the halfway point in the season. How would you assess your performance so far this year? What are your goals heading into the second part of this season?

DEAN BURMESTER: Obviously I got off to a great start, a fourth and a second early. It's kind of tapered off from there. There's a lot of good in there. It's just about a little bit of self-belief and getting on with it and getting down to doing my job.

Yeah, I've got a lot of goals. I've got the PGA Championship coming up now. I want to really try to put in a good performance there.

Yeah, this is encouraging for me this week leading up into that. We'll see what the rest of the year just kind of has in store for me.
