Q. Your thoughts on being here in the DP World Tour Championship?
RASMUS LIA: It feels amazing. I worked really hard to get here. It feels good.
Q. How did you feel this morning teeing off on the first hole? How were you feeling?
RASMUS LIA: Yeah, I definitely felt nervous. I could feel the pressure to finally close out a good round. The good start made me go on the right track. It was good.
Q. What especially pleased you out there today overall?
RASMUS LIA: I think going back from that tough stretch with 7, 8 and 9. So on the back nine, I played really well. Had a lot of birdie chances on the first three, and then made three in a row. It was good.
Q. Just talk us through how great it was to walk up 18 with a nice, healthy lead. Hitting the first shot in there must have been pretty special.
RASMUS LIA: It felt great for sure. I know I had a couple of shots -- I hit two great shots and on the third I stuck it really close. Great feeling.
Q. And a very special week to have your dad here helping you out caddying for the first time on this tour. How special to for you to have him here and for him as well?
RASMUS LIA: It's great to have him with me today and this week. We struggled a bit out there but kept it together. It's a nice feeling for both of us.
Q. And plans now for next week?
RASMUS LIA: Next week I'm going to Portugal next week to play the last EDGA event. So fly out there and hopefully play good again.
