Quick Quotes

Q. Matthis, describe your emotions now that you're through to the quarterfinals.

MATTHIS LEFEVRE: Well, I'm super excited, obviously, because it's very special to be here. Obviously winning, you get special emotions from winning, and yeah, super excited.

Q. You obviously had a couple of wins today and it looked like you played really well. What was the key to your golf out there?

MATTHIS LEFEVRE: Yeah, like the previous days I hit it pretty well and tried to stay patient. I think that's the main thing, try to stay patient because I know I'm hitting it good and I'm doing the right thing. Unfortunately in golf it's when you start to lose it mentally that you start to hit it bad sometimes, so I guess, yeah, I try to stay patient and to hit good shots.

Q. Now that you're through to the final eight players, you're obviously close to the finish line here. Do you allow yourself to start thinking of the big prize or are you just focused on your process?

MATTHIS LEFEVRE: Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a little bit now. I believe I have what it takes. But as I said, there's a lot of golf left, and I will really focus on what I can control, really focus on myself, and if I win, I win, and if I don't win, I don't win.

Q. How has the course played today because obviously the winds got up a little bit today and it's played a little bit differently to the first few rounds.

MATTHIS LEFEVRE: Yeah, I think it played a little harder. It played a little harder, and they moved some tee boxes, too. Tee shots were pretty different.

But overall, I think the fairways were the same. The greens were the same. I think it was pretty much the same except that it was a little more windy.

Q. You've mentioned every time I've talked to you about going home, sleeping, resetting. Will that be what you get up to tonight?

MATTHIS LEFEVRE: Yeah, it's going to be the same deal. I'm going to focus on recovery, eat good food, drink water. I've said it three times already. But yeah, that's going to be it for the night, yep.
