Q. Great finish last week. Really good result for you. How pleased are you to bring that momentum into this event this week?
RENATO PARATORE: Yeah, last week was really good. I play solid, good short game, so today I went on the course in good shape.
The second nine I made some good putts that keep me under par and I finish with two birdies.
Q. I think you had three birdies in the last five holes. What happened there? Did something click?
RENATO PARATORE: Yeah, I think I save a really good bogey on 13, and from then I made birdie after the hole, and so from there I think changed the momentum and I made two birdies. So that moment was the key.
Q. After the result last week, how did you feel when you came here? Did you feel pressure to keep that going? Were you just really pleased to get a solid week?
RENATO PARATORE: Honestly, I was just really, really happy. Was long time I didn't play that well, so just enjoyed the moment, the way I played.
Q. And what particularly worked with your game out there today?
RENATO PARATORE: I think more or less everything, but I think maybe the chip and putt was better. Irons, so-so, average.
So I think some up and downs helped me for a 3-under.
