Quick Quotes

Q. So runner-up in the Africa Amateur. How are you feeling about that now?

JL de BRUIN: Hasn't actually sunk in yet because at the start of the day, tied level, 13 shots back of the lead, and I think also like nine shots back of second place.

So, yeah, it hasn't sunk in. Just try to enjoy it and that worked for me.

Q. So your performance today was absolutely phenomenal. How much confidence does that give you?

JL de BRUIN: It's a real confidence boost I must say. It's a surreal experience, and just now I know my game is there and I know what I can do and I know I can play. Yeah, I just need to go out and play the same golf.

Q. Jack has won the championship today. Do you have any words for him?

JL de BRUIN: Congratulations. He played amazing golf this week. I'm not sure what he finished on but it's amazing to play as good golf as he did. He must enjoy the experience and enjoy The Open and enjoy the win.
