Q. Alex, thank for joining us, level par, and 66 this afternoon. What was the difference in your way?
ALEX NOREN: Well, it's been a weird off-season where I tried to do things that I thought I was going to be able to do out here. Then I saw last week that it felt too uncomfortable, so I had to kind of -- and yesterday felt very bad as well. Today didn't feel great but I probably had the best sort of get-it-around day I've ever had, and good on the greens. Didn't kind of miss that many shots but didn't hit them great.
So I'm very, very proud that I'm here after yesterday but then it's a little bit of a ways back to the game I want to have. It's a process.
Q. First time competing at this championship at this course, what do you think of the venue?
ALEX NOREN: It gets your attention, definitely. Some holes, maybe are like, you know, you can relax a little bit and feel like you get chances. Especially some pin positions yesterday and today, when you get on the right side, it feels quite easy. If you get on the wrong side, it's very, very difficult. I mean, just the grass and the shape the course is in, it's there with anything at the top.
