Q. You birdied every hole on the back nine to shoot a career round low, 60, but also equal most birdies made in one rounds on the DP World Tour and equals the most consecutive birdies made on the DP World Tour. Try and sum it up.
MATT WALLACE: What a day, an amazing day. Just tried my hardest to get myself back into the tournament. I'm really happy that I've been able to do that. Played great.
Again at the end, I didn't even think there was a 59. Honestly I think it helped me a little bit. I just played nicely coming down the stretch, just keep getting one more if I could and I managed to do that.
Q. Started out 3-under par, good in its own right, and then you started making birdie after birdie, what were you thinking and feeling as that run is unfolding?
MATT WALLACE: Holed a good one on 10. Missed a short one on 7 which stopped momentum I thought, and made one on and 8 that picked it back up. Holed a good one on 10. 11, played nicely.
Then I didn't really miss a shot coming in. Hit it in tight two holes in a row, and then hit it on the par 5 in 2 and just missed the eagle putt there.
15, left myself a perfect angle and yardage. Funny how it works out like that. 65 yards, hit it stiff, lovely number, 124 sand wedge. Hit it to a foot and a half.
The shot of the day for me is probably 17. It was in between numbers and could have hit eight. Went for a soft 7 to hold it into the pin there, and hit it to eight feet and rolled it in.
Then the last, the miss is right obviously with the water on the left. But I had a good enough chance to try to feed it into that pin and hit it a bit too high and the wind got it, a really nice up-and-down. Been practising those high, soft bunker shots for a while now. That was really nice.
Q. Surprised you didn't know about the 59.
MATT WALLACE: Yeah, kind of gutted now actually a little bit. Great opportunity to do it. I've done it at Moorpark on the West Course which is only a par 68, but to do it out there would have been really special today. Ball in hand helps. I had a couple good lies for up-and-down, but it was fantastic and a good effort for 59.
Q. How excited to go into tomorrow obviously with this fantastic run of form you're on right now and have the opportunity to win what is a marquis championship?
MATT WALLACE: Yeah, no bogeys in two rounds, which is nice. I'm playing solid. Played with Rory yesterday and I felt like my game was right there, and it's obviously proved that today.
Now I'm here. In the Czech Republic, I was playing to keep my heart, played mostly on the PGA TOUR this year, so once I came second there, it kind of boosted me and then I wanted to make DP World and now I'm here and we have a chance to win tomorrow. That's the full focus there.
