Quick Quotes

Q. Third round 69, thoughts on that?

VIKTOR HOVLAND: Got off to a rough start this morning. It was hard to see the flag and where the ball was going. I actual hit some lovely shots.

I just putted pretty poorly. Kind of been the whole story the whole week. Was able to battle back and shoot at least a respectable score, even though I feel like I'm playing way better than the score.

Q. What's the game plan for tomorrow?

VIKTOR HOVLAND: Just hope to do more of the same, really. Tee-to-green has been really solid. I need to be able to make some more putts. I have basically a three-putt every single day and the few times I've hit it close, I've missed some really short putts. So hopefully I can just get off to a nice start with the putter and ride that wave.

Q. How special was the atmosphere on the 15th hole with a lot of fans?

VIKTOR HOVLAND: It was cool. All the Scottish people that I've talked to this week, they are all Norwegian this week, at least, hoping that we are going to beat England. It's nice to have some support and honestly really cool to see so many people out here in general. This morning, it was not the best weather, and people really show up and support. It's been great.

Q. Finally, what's your plan for tonight? Will you be cheering on Norway against England?

VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, I'm going to watch the game. Hope it's an exciting game, and yeah, things go our way, that would be really cool. It's been a fun World Cup for Norwegians, and we hope they can continue at least a few more days.
