Quick Quotes

Q. 6-under round 2 there. Obviously most of it yesterday, a little bit today. Talk us through it.

DAN HILLIER: Yeah, pretty happy with that overall. It was a long day yesterday. Since it's the Masters, I wanted to keep my focus and composure and actually played some of my best golf towards the end there. So that was nice.

Maybe half asleep this morning. Pretty scrappy stuff, but to get away with it -- yeah, go out there hopefully this evening and try again.

Q. It's been a tough start all week. How hard is it to keep that focus and still do a good job? How proud are you of that?

DAN HILLIER: Yeah, it's difficult for sure. When you don't really know when you're going back out, you're coming in and going out, yeah, it's just part of it really. I guess you've just got to suck it up and get used to it.

I don't know what else to say really. It's a tough week, but yeah, it's the same for everyone.

Q. You say it's the same for everyone, but the rain's just started again now. How much relief is it to have finished your second round, and what does the rest of the day look like for you?

DAN HILLIER: It's a good point actually. It's not looking too good out there for the rest of the day. I'm going to put my feet up and maybe have another nap and try to regain some energy.

Q. You had a little break after The Open. It's your first tournament back. What have you been up to?

DAN HILLIER: Yeah, it was really nice. Went back to New Zealand for just over a month. Weather was great over there. It was in winter, but a lot of sunshine.

Went out, played some golf, spent some time with family. It was just nice and relaxing.

Q. After coming so close to one of those top 10 cards last year, how much of a goal is that? Are you ready to go for the rest of the year?

DAN HILLIER: Yeah, it's definitely on my bucket list. Obviously there's a lot of golf to be played. I've just got to do my job as well as I can, and hopefully the results will take care of themselves and I can grab one of those cards at the end.
