Quick Quotes


Q. Matti, followed your first round 64 with a 65. How much difference was today playing than yesterday's effort?

MATTI SCHMID: Well, yesterday was obviously not too windy for me.

Q. Oh, you only had two holes, right?

MATTI SCHMID: I guess that's what, Thursday is a couple days ago. Thursday was not too much wind, so that first round played last easier than this round.

But, yeah, played nicely today, too.

Q. How do you feel? I guess you missed most of the day yesterday. Like getting out there to play two holes in the evening, what was that like?

MATTI SCHMID: Yeah, it was a bit weird. At least we got to warm up, play at least a couple holes. It's better than versus just do nothing all day.

Yeah, I'm not unhappy with the side of the draw I was in.

Q. Yeah, now how do you feel? Just played 16 holes I guess, 16 1/2 holes, and now probably got two and a half hours before you go out again and play until dark.

MATTI SCHMID: Yeah, feel good. Feel fresh. Hit it all right, so I hope we can just keep going with it.

Q. Hit it all right is a bit of an understatement. You're bogey-free through 36 holes. That doesn't happen that often. What's it like to be in that position?

MATTI SCHMID: Yeah, I was just very good off the tee so far this week. Hit many fairways, and, yeah, was able to hit some decent iron shots. I didn't miss too many greens. That was the key so far I would say.

Q. How much confidence did that final round 62 last week and the Top 3 finish give you heading into this week?

MATTI SCHMID: I guess a lot. Yeah, it was good.

Q. What do you do in the next two and a half hours?

MATTI SCHMID: Sit down, eat. Yeah, not too much. Then have another normal warm up again.

Q. Try and keep it going.

MATTI SCHMID: Yeah, exactly.
