Quick Quotes

Q. A bit more wind and firmer bounces; how do you evaluate your 69 today?

MATT FITZPATRICK: It was okay. Solid enough. Still in the mix and that's what's important. I wasn't obviously as content as I was yesterday with my play, but there were some improvements off the tee which was nice.

Q. The late start today, patience was key today, wasn't it?

MATT FITZPATRICK: Definitely, early doors, 1-over through two, and in an ideal world you would like to be 1-under, and that obviously was not going to happen. You feel like iron behind the 8-ball but at the same time things can change.

Felt like I had been playing well enough. I was definitely getting frustrated early doors there but the putt on five was nice to settle things down, and the save on 6 kept my round going.

Q. Your last win on the DP World Tour came on Scottish soil. What would it mean to pick another one up tomorrow?

MATT FITZPATRICK: Yeah, absolutely, I didn't win last year and that was disappointing. It's been over 18, 20 months since my last win. It would be a big deal. It's been a tough 18 months. Obviously a win tomorrow changes that and hopefully use it as a stepping stone.

Q. Do you feel like the confidence has come with the results you've produced recently?

MATT FITZPATRICK: Definitely. Definitely. There's no doubt about it. I feel like more confident in my game and the shots that I'm hitting. I definitely feel like there's been some good underlying performances that haven't necessarily equalled the results but I feel like that's one of those you've got to stay patient and keep doing what you're doing if you feel like it's on the right track and that's where I feel like I'm going.
