Quick Quotes

Q. 71 to go with yesterday's 66. Take us through your day.

THORBJØRN OLESEN: I felt like it was a very mixed day. There was some good shots, but there was also plenty of not so good shots. I think all in all, I was good today at bouncing back. After I hit those bad shots, I had some good shots coming up after. It's always nice to see.

Q. You obviously spent a lot of time on the PGA TOUR. How difficult is it for you to adjust to these courses? They're obviously different to the ones in America.

THORBJØRN OLESEN: I've just been back in Dubai for two weeks, so it's a little bit different to be here in Ireland. I always love coming to Ireland. The Irish Open is always -- you know, the crowds, the golf courses we've played on have always been great. It's always a tournament I look forward to going to.

Yeah, there's some adjustment. I think unfortunately we had a lot of rain this week, so the course is very soft. But I think it's a proper golf course, so it's nice to be here.

Q. A lot of the players are saying it's a ball striker's course. You are a world class ball striker. Is that a reason you think you're playing well around here?

THORBJØRN OLESEN: I wouldn't say it's been the best ball striking the past two days. But there's been some good putting, it's been good short game. So far I would like to strike it a little bit better the next two days.

It's nice to see when you're not playing your best that you can shoot a really good score. That definitely gives you some confidence.
