Scottie Scheffler

TV Quotes

Q. Scottie, you had to stay patient out there early on but ultimately capitalised with the eagle at 7 and the birdie at 8 and of course another wonderful round of golf. How in control do you feel of your game on these links at Royal Portrush?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I feel good. I had another good day today. I made a couple nice par saves. I had a really good par save on 11, really good par save on 14 and I did some good stuff. Like you said, I was pretty patient most of the day but felt like I was hitting it really nice. Just sometimes major championships it can be tough to make birdies, and today was one of those days where I just had to give myself some looks and was able to hole a few.

Q. Is there a particular part of your game that you've been most grateful for this week?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I'm not really sure. I'm just trying to execute, not overthinking things. I feel like I've been doing the right thing so far, and I'm looking forward to the challenge of tomorrow.

Q. You obviously have a comfortable lead going into tomorrow. Should you win, it would be the third leg of a Career Grand Slam. I know you're not too bothered about this kind of stuff, but how satisfying would it be to conquer this style of golf?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, it would be nice, but I'm not going to be thinking about that tonight. I'm going to be going home, trying to get some rest and get some recovery and then get ready for tomorrow.
