ALSTOM OPEN DE FRANCE


July 2, 2010


Peter Hanson


PARIS, FRANCE

Q. Well played, after missing the cut last week, two rounds coming just at the right time for you?
PETER HANSON: Yeah, it was nice much I've been playing good over the last few weeks but I've been playing five weeks in a row. So was a bit tired last week and I can feel it this week, as well, so hitting a few sloppy shots out there and left some shots and hopefully I can get it back for the weekend.

Q. Fairly up-and-down, lots of players dropping shots on 18, dropped shots on 11 the last few days, what do you say about those holes in particular?
PETER HANSON: Two bad iron shots missing the green and not getting up-and-down. A bit disappointing but like you said, I've been hitting my good shots really well and getting them close to the hole and today I putted very nice.
Unfortunately my bad ones on 18, I hit a really wad tee shot in the water left and you have to drop in the rough and it's really hard with a flyer and to control the ball and another one in the water and ended up making 6. A bit unlucky on the last, I hit two fantastic shots, driver, 5-wood and just in the perfect spot and ended up in a hole and couldn't really do anything. I had the option of hitting it over the back of the green and that would have been bogey.
So felt after the second shot I was looking at birdie and ended up walking off with bogey so that was a bit disappointing. So hopefully, I mean, two shots come Sunday might be the difference.
My goal has been to shoot 2-under par on each nine every day and I haven't been doing that on the back nine. I've been shooting 2-under on the front and that's been my target, if I can get it to 69, under par, I know I'll have a good chance on this golf course. Just one or two shots short last year, finishing third, I feel look I want a bit of revenge.

Q. How do you enjoy playing here at Golf National?
PETER HANSON: Great course and it really suits my eye. I've been fortunate here to do well over the last few years, so hopefully, like I said, if I can go two better Sunday, I will be very happy.

Q. Did you have a chance last year?
PETER HANSON: I bogeyed the last and I think I was one behind and 3-putted the last, so I think I was two off the playoff, so a bit disappointing.
It suits my game perfect. I normally hit it fairly straight off the tee and my iron play is on a very high level. So if I can just make some putts, I normally do well.
It's a very strategic golf course, and of course, with the length that I have on the par 5s, I reach all of the par 5s, so it just suits my game perfect I think.

Q. Are you taking next week off?
PETER HANSON: I'm doing JP's Pro-Am. I've been going 35 days straight so starting to get pretty tired. With two trips to America backwards and forwards -- I think that's why those loose shots come in every now and then, I just lose concentration or I guess the body just doesn't do what it's supposed to do so hopefully I can keep concentrating for the next two days and get a good result out of it.

Q. When do you go to St. Andrews?
PETER HANSON: Sunday afternoon. I'm playing JP and I'm not going to do anything for four days. It's rest, go home and be ready, I think four or five days without any golf course. We have plenty of time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and we have all played the course many times.
