Q. Renato, 5-under through two rounds here. How do you assess the first two days?
RENATO PARATORE: Yeah, I'm quite happy with these first few days. I played solid golf and today the putt also helped to make some birdie on the second nine.
The first nine was a little bit tough to put the irons close to the hole, but then I made a good minus-2.
Q. Was it difficult coming from one course to another, to a different setup?
RENATO PARATORE: Yeah, I think was a lot of difference. This one the was greens were so firm today in respect to yesterday so was a little bit different, especially with the chipping.
So was not an easy day.
Q. You spoke yesterday about gaining some momentum towards the end of your round. You got that during the back nine again today. How important was that?
RENATO PARATORE: Yeah, I think I was playing good today. Just need to be patient, because I was 1-over par, but I felt good during the day. Just say I need one birdie, and then I made the other two.
So at the end, arrive.
Q. Obviously exciting weekend. Head back to Galgorm over the weekend. How excited are you about the weekend in store?
RENATO PARATORE: I'm pretty excited in this moment. I want to play a lot and I really looking forward for that.
