THE MODERATOR: We're joined by Ludvig Aberg at the 108th PGA Championship. Ludvig, a real nice 66 for you today. What did you do well out there?

LUDVIG ABERG: Yeah, compared to yesterday, I did most things better. I was hitting more fairways, I was hitting it closer, and I was making more putts. We knew going into today it was going to be a day of patience with some of those pins. The wind was up early in our round. It kind of died down, which made it a little bit easier.

But still a difficult golf course, and I'm pleased with the way kind of the scorecard kind of showed that patience a little bit today, which I'm pleased with.

THE MODERATOR: Take some questions.

Q. 2-under par, you're in a very nice position, well played today. How do you assess where you are now going into the weekend, looking very, very optimistic?

LUDVIG ABERG: Yeah, absolutely. Like you said, optimistic is a good word. I think, I like that yesterday I didn't hit the ball very well, but I was able to sort of get back into hitting golf shots again today. I felt like I was striking it nice all day. If I can keep that up tomorrow and keep the patience, I'll be happy.

Q. How many pins were there out on the golf course today where you felt like you just simply could not make a run at them?

LUDVIG ABERG: Plenty, yeah, definitely plenty. The one that stands out is definitely 11, where you probably know going into you're not going to get it close. What's cool about this place is it gives you short clubs on a lot of these par-4s, but it's still really hard to get it close. Then you mix that in with some strong par-3s and it's a good test.

I felt like I handled it well today. I didn't feel -- I didn't try to force anything, I was okay with 20 feet, and I was okay with 25 feet at times. I think that's what you got to do when you play this golf course.

Q. What was the best shot you hit to a really tough flag today?

LUDVIG ABERG: I really like the wedge I hit on 2. 2 is a back pin where it goes away from you behind it. I was able to kind of take some off of a sand wedge and fly it and hop and stop it to really where I wanted to putt from. But, yeah, there's plenty of tough ones. 14 comes to mind too. 4-, 5-iron to a back right pin. And, yeah, overall pleased with today.

Q. How long was the putt at 14?

LUDVIG ABERG: 14? 20, 25 feet maybe.

Q. How much -- are there many putts you have that don't break less than like two feet?

LUDVIG ABERG: No, you get a lot of breaking putts. I feel like I've played -- I mean, I use the AimPoint system, and I play a lot of sort of two to three percent putts. Yeah, they're tricky. The lag putts are a lot of up and over. Speed is really important, which gets tricky when it's windy, but it's a good test.
