TPC River Highlands

Quick Quotes

Q. 6-under, 64 today, including three birdies on the par-3s. Just comment a little bit about your trip around River Highlands?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: It was good. I'm thrilled finishing 6-under par was a good round of golf. Started off very poorly, but managed to scramble my way back in. Once I started to get a feeling for it, I felt like I didn't really look back. So it was a good feeling to hit some good shots, but also especially roll in some good putts as well.

Q. What do you think the key is going to be here on this golf course in terms of your game?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Well, it's more an accuracy type of golf course than it is a distance golf course. But, yeah, I just think approach play is key. Obviously if you can hit a lot of fairways as well, I mean, but for me today rolling in the putts was a huge difference maker. Hoping that I can keep doing that and improve my putting.

Q. With the level of golf that you played from Valero through Memorial basically, what was your mental state after that, just in terms of your focus and everything when you're playing at such a high level, what's the key to keeping that going?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: I don't know, I don't have a whole lot of experience in that department. I just feel like I'm just trying to do my best. Also trying not to, I don't know, get too caught up in the moment and have a little bit of a longer perspective on things and trying to improve my game. It's difficult, you know, when you play a lot of very, very prestigious golf events, you want to perform every single week. But you need to step back every once in a while and look at, okay, what can make me better in a month's time or two months time. So that's been a little bit difficult trying to balance those two things. But, yeah, it's all I want really is to just see some small stems in the right direction.

Q. Talk a little bit about your week so far, you and Viktor going to the World Cup game to watch Norway, how great of an experience was that?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: It was unbelievable. For me, I haven't seen Norway in the World Cup for my whole life, so it was awesome. The crowds are amazing, the team was performing excellent. Yeah, it was an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Q. How cool was it to have such a large contingent of Norway football fans here following you today?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Yeah, no, I think the games and the golf events setup quite nicely, so they can make a pit stop here for the interested fans or the golf-interested fans. So it sets up quite nicely for that. And it's cool for them to make a pit stop here and for me to experience a miniature version of what the football players get to experience.

Q. Put on your prognosticator hat here. How do you feel about the game tomorrow against France?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: France is a different beast. They're probably the favorites to win the whole thing. I don't know, I don't have any predictions, but I'm just hoping they do well.
