Quick Quotes

Q. Give us a summary of your day.

MARCEL SIEM: Yeah, it was a great start. My ego took over a little on the back nine because I hit really good shots. 18 I got a bit unlucky with my drive, had a bad lie and missed the first short putt.

Then the first, I had two great shots. Misread that putt. On the second, I hit a great drive. I thought it was in the fairway. It bounced to the right apparently, pretty bad lie. Misread read that putt for par, as well. Next hole as well. Next hole as well. Then I finally hole one on the next, misread it again. Felt like I could have shot a bit lower than today. So my ego took a bit over. That's why you didn't see me smiling.

I will be smiling soon.

Q. I know you mentioned the missed putts. You how impressed are you, yourself with, your iron play. You were pin-high and close a lot of the time today.

MARCEL SIEM: Yeah, I switched to a new Callaway blades in The Scottish Open, which are fantastic. They are so good. They are a bit more forgiving and I'm gaining more and more confidence with these irons. I really love them.

Body feels great. That helps to keep the momentum, keep the same rhythm over 18 holes. So I'm really pleased. Even out of the rough, they were really, really good. So I hope I can keep that up.
