Quick Quotes

Q. 64, seven birdie on the back nine, one away from equalling the course record. How do you evaluate a round like that?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: It's hard. Putting was insane today maybe the last 12 or so holes and that helps a lot. Off the tee, I've been struggling for the last few months and that's been very, very difficult to manage, I didn't feel like I hit it well off the tee. But rolled in some really, really nice putts.

Q. Where does that round stack up in your professional career?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: It's up there, for sure. Maybe that 9-under at the Soudal Open, but cool to do it on a Saturday, and on an historic venue like this.

Q. You were temporarily a made an honorary member of Team Europe. What was it like being at Adare Manor with all the guys?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: It was a very, very good experience for me. It's just a little bit of a tease, you know, and it's meant to inspire you and trying to do that.

So let it inspire me, and I know that I'm not certain of a place on that team. I have to work really, really hard on the quality in every single piece of my game. But being there was huge.

Q. We've missed you since the incredible win at Nedbank and you've had quite the rookie season on the PGA TOUR. How would you summarise it?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: America is great. I miss the DP World Tour a lot. I missed you and I miss all the guys. It's great to be back. This is my home tour, and it's nice to come back; and also play well enough on the PGA TOUR that I can actually afford to come back here and finish off the season where you want to finish it off, you know. So instead of going over again -- I need to clarify, go over again and fight to keep my card.

That's a privilege that I look forward to taking advantage of.

Q. What was the win like in May? I know you've won with us but would have felt a little bit different over there?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: A little bit different because I know so many guys out here, and in America, at that point, at least, I didn't really know that many. So it was -- it's definitely different but playing that well on a course like that over there is just amazing. So the it's been a successful year no matter what.

But I want to keep nudging my game if the right direction. That's where I'm at.

Q. Lastly after that 64, I'm sure you'll be curious to see where that round holds up. How much will you pay attention to the TV? Do you have any expectations where you might fall at the end of the day?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: No. I've done my part. I can't control what anybody else does. So yeah, just going to maybe practice a little bit, hit maybe some tee shots. I got my manager to look for Arsenal tickets, maybe, maybe not; it's a one-hour drive down to Brighton. Not much happening for me today but try to prepare for tomorrow and get things locked in as good as I can.
