Q. Obviously disappointing way to finish, but you're right in the mix; just two back. Just give us your thoughts after two days.
FELIX PALSON: Yeah, I'm very pleased with my game. It's new experience for me. I've never played on the DP Tour before, so I was kind of nervous going into the round.
After couple holes I made a long putt for birdie on the second, or my second hole, and started to feel good again.
Was a solid -- like I didn't put myself in bad positions, so it wasn't very stressful day of golf.
In the end, felt like I hit some good shots but just ended up with some bogeys.
Q. What was it like prepping for this event, two different golf courses?
FELIX PALSON: Yeah, we got in on Tuesday night like 7:00 pm, so I played I think my first Challenge Tour event here like four years ago, so I just run up here and walk the course quickly. I remembered pretty much everything.
And then we were on the other course yesterday.
Yeah, obviously didn't really know exactly how firm the fairway was and like that, but it was nice to have some memories of the course.
Q. What's been the difference this week? Have things just started to come together?
FELIX PALSON: I mean, during last two years I've been putting so much effort into my putting because that's been a big weakness in my game, so I feel like that has been taking a lot of focus during these two years, and it maybe had -- like my iron play was pretty much better before.
But I've just accepted that's the way I need to do it because my putting needs to get better. Now I feel like I can take some more time on the range and work on other stuff as well because putting starts to settle.
Q. In the mix going into the weekend. Just how exciting is this opportunity?
FELIX PALSON: I mean, it's so nice. I'm really looking forward to it. I've been in the mix quite a lot of times first round in Challenge Tour but always messed it up, so I'm used to being nervous now it feels like.
It's been a good year that kind of stuff. But it's very exciting, and I'm looking forward to it.
