Quick Quotes

Q. Obviously a little disappointed to finish with a 6 at the last, but 11-under for two rounds is great golf. How much have you enjoyed it?

MATTHEW JORDAN: Yeah, it's obviously great when you play well, isn't it? But of course, even the last, it was one bad shot, I think. It was probably the only problem, so it's easier to take it on the chin.

So when you are playing quite nicely, I felt like every hole, certainly the front nine and the start of the back nine, was giving myself a chance. So it's very enjoyable when that's happening.

Q. Top 15 the last two visits here, 48-under par, I think it is, for your last 10 rounds. What is it about this place that brings the best out of you?

MATTHEW JORDAN: I don't know. I'm not really used to greens this quick. But I wish I could give you an answer. I wish I could stand here and say it, but I guess it is a bit more of a links style.

And I think courses that are not necessarily tree-lined and have some bumps, visually that can definitely help me. I can see shots differently in terms of draws and fades on certain holes. So maybe it's that, but it's probably not the best answer you've heard.

Q. Sure, it's perfectly fine. You've had some really close calls this year, a couple of second places and a third. Players told me in the past that they learned quite a lot from those experiences. Have you learned things that you can take into this weekend?

MATTHEW JORDAN: Yeah, definitely. I think more so I've learned what happens when I'm under pressure in different parts of the game, what stands up and what comes out. Because when you are under pressure, your natural tendencies seem to come out most of all.

I could kind of feel that certainly in the weeks that I've played, and I've certainly been up there. So just been working hard on that, of what comes out. I guess that's probably the main thing so far that certainly in the last few weeks that I've taken.
