Quick Quotes
Q. Lucas, you put yourself in position to make a run at one of the three spots tomorrow. Can you just talk about your round and the mindset going into the final 18 holes?
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: Yeah, it was a little bit of a different mindset today with no cut. But yeah, I played nicely, and in a decent position. That's kind of what you're trying to do today and not play your way out of it.
Q. Obviously you played with Richard today. The way he seems to be playing, it seems like the rest of the field is playing for two spots. How would you assess that?
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: Yeah, he played great today. But I would be happy with any of the other two spots, so that's fine. I can finish third; I wouldn't mind.
Q. What would it mean to get one of those three spots, join LIV, all the 14 events scheduled next year? What would that mean for your career?
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: Oh, it would mean a lot. Where I am in my career right now, it's probably that or retirement. Yeah, that would mean a lot for sure.
Q. It seems like a lot of pressure tomorrow.
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: No, it's been coming for a while, so it's all right. It's nothing new.
Q. But you're feeling in control of your golf game right now?
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: I wouldn't say in control, but I've played nicely. I've made four bogeys over the three days, so I'm pretty happy with that. My short game seems to be pretty good, so I've gotten up-and-down a few times when I've been in trouble. I'm happy where it's at.
Q. The top 10 finishers tomorrow will also get to play the International Series on the Asian Tour next year. What do you think of that opportunity and playing in a new region?
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: Yeah, I've played a good bit in Asia in my career, so I wouldn't mind coming back and playing a few events. I've heard good things about the International Series. That's obviously something to play for, as well.
Q. Since the series also offers two more spots at the end of the year through the rankings, how do you think of that pathway, too?
LUCAS BJERREGAARD: Yeah, it's great, and definitely an opportunity. We're all playing for the three spots this week, but if not, that would be a nice consolation.
