Quick Quotes
Q. A round of 70 for a total of 4-under par. What's pleased you most about your play this week so far?
KRISTOFFER REITAN: Just that I've kept fighting the whole way through. It's been difficult with the wind and the greens are getting firm, the rough is thick. So you need to hit a lot of good shots.
Today I was very pleased with the way I managed my golf ball, especially from the tee. I felt like that made it a little bit easier for me. So I'm hoping to do more of that.
Q. Whatever happens this weekend, you've had one fantastic year. Does that give you freedom? Does that mean I can just go out and enjoy myself and have a go at this course as much as you can in these conditions over this weekend?
KRISTOFFER REITAN: Yeah, I guess so. I'll try to look at it that way, but I still want to -- even though some people around me tell me that I've had a good season no matter what, so just relax and enjoy yourself and try to play well, but I really want to play well.
So a big part of that is doing the work and making sure I'm prepared. I'm at a point where I'm not very happy with the way I'm swinging it. I feel like I could do the things I'm doing just a little bit differently. But at the same time, I feel like I'm in a spot where I'm good enough to find my way around a golf course, and I've proved that to myself.
But, yeah, there's still a lot of work to be done in the next couple of days, for sure.
