Quick Quotes

Q. A blemish free 6-under 64. Great day.

NIKLAS NORGAARD: Thank you very much.

Q. How did you find it?

NIKLAS NORGAARD: Very good, yeah. I'm happy standing here. Didn't really feel that well on the first nine, but just kept plodding in and then started what I feel like playing pretty good golf on the back nine. But obviously very, very happy with this round.

Q. You should be. It's quite easy to make mistakes out here as we saw yesterday with different conditions, but what's been key to not making any mistakes today?

NIKLAS NORGAARD: I think it's just been the thing about not making mistakes. I just haven't hit fantastic shots, I just kept it in play and then made a lot of putts.

Q. Runner-up at the British Masters a couple weeks ago, an event you have won before, you're up there this week. What's been the key to playing so well this side of the pond?

NIKLAS NORGAARD: I think I've just been trying to have a little bit more fun in between shots. Now this week I have my coach on the bag, and I told him, Please don't say too much coaching things, let just be a friend out there. And then we have just been having some fun in between the shots.

Q. Do you think that's helped?

NIKLAS NORGAARD: Indeed.

Q. Three shots off the lead heading into the weekend, what's the game plan?

NIKLAS NORGAARD: Not much different. Just trying to do much of the same things. And then hopefully hole a lot of putts again.
