Quick Quotes

Q. 4-under today, obviously not the way you wanted to finish on 18 there, it was a bit of a tale of two different nines, wasn't it?

JACOB SKOV OLESEN: Yeah, it was score-wise. I think that on the back as well, I just couldn't make any putts, I guess. Yeah, I couldn't, it was quite dark, I couldn't see the pin was on quite a severe slope.

Q. You were on fire on the front nine, weren't you. Take us through that?

JACOB SKOV OLESEN: Yeah, it was good. A lot of good shots. I feel like I got away with a couple good up-and-downs on 1 and 7. Other than that, I feel like I put up some good chances and took advantage of a lot of them. And the back nine was just the complete opposite, I couldn't take advantage of anything. And nothing really worked.

Q. Still in with a chance tomorrow in the final group. What would it mean to get over the line at this prestigious event?

JACOB SKOV OLESEN: Yeah, that would mean a lot. It's going to take a lot tomorrow. Shane's playing great, putting well, has got the crowd behind him, so, yeah, we'll give it a go and try and just stick to our game plan and see where it takes us.

Q. Do you feel that is a big help for him and less of an advantage for you, the crowd?

JACOB SKOV OLESEN: Oh, I don't know. I think the crowd's obviously cheering hard for him, but I'm not hearing anyone cheering against me, so I think it's all in very good spirits and obviously they're going to cheer for their home boy (laughing).
