ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT SCOTTISH OPEN


July 14, 2012


Alexander Noren


INVERNESS, SCOTLAND

Q.  14‑under par, I guess you'll be frustrated you should be in a better position?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, I played probably 16 great holes and two bad ones.  But that's golf, and I started out great, played the first 11 perfect I thought, and then after the bogey, lost my ball in the bushes.  It's very frustrating now, but looking at it, three shots off the lead in a great tournament, I'm trying my best tomorrow.

Q.  Do you think that most of the players will agree that conditions have been fairly good and fairly benign; you can play in far worse conditions than these?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Oh yeah, these are the best conditions you can play in.  We had a little rain today but only for a couple of holes and it's probably the best I've ever played weather‑wise in Scotland.

Q.  17‑under leads and you're 14‑under; what total do you think might win this championship tomorrow?
ALEXANDER NOREN:  I think if you get over 20, it's looking good.  You know you've got a chance.  And see if the wind picks up tomorrow.
Francesco played fantastic.  I don't think I've ever seen anybody play that well throughout 18 holes.  So it's going to be tough to beat him.  But I think everybody's going to try their best.

Q.  You certainly bounced back from the triple today.
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, well, the thing is that you can understand your game, and I hit my driver ten times better today than I have the previous days.  I'm really happy about that.  You know if you hit one bad, all you have to do is try my best even when I hit it bad, so try to get back in it.  And especially here, you've got so many birdie chances.
Yeah, I played probably even better after that than I did before that.

Q.  If you are playing well, there's chances and if you have one slightly errant shot, you can get punished.
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, you can get pup issued, and on a lot of holes you don't, and there, I did.  It was a wayward shot.  But, you know, it is what it is.  So you've got to keep fighting it.

Q.  And I appreciate what you say about Molinari, if Francesco carries on the way he's going, but you know that you can pick up those shots.
ALEXANDER NOREN:  Yeah, it's all about the putting and the short game out here, and so three shots tomorrow is not a whole lot.  But got to play three shots better than he does.  That's the only tough part.
