Quick Quotes


Q. 68 here at the Betfred British Masters. Talk us through how you felt you performed today?

SEBASTIAN SODERBERG: Very pleased for sure. Wind is a little tricky but I feel like me and my brother managed to get it right most of the time. Solid off the tee, and managed to hit a few really good irons that left me a couple good chances at birdies.

Q. You're just two behind the leader as it stands at the moment. Do you feel like you came into the week with this form?

SEBASTIAN SODERBERG: Not at all. I think I missed three or four cuts in a row. I've been struggling with the wedges and shorter irons and had my coach here this week and we've been working on it and early yesterday I decided I'm just going to play with what I've got in the bag right now and not trying to hit the perfect shots or swing the way I want to and just work on that afterwards, and yeah, just so far imaged it quite well.

Q. It feels like the last couple of weeks have been a turning point for the players, especially with the fan turnout, it's made a difference to their game?

SEBASTIAN SODERBERG: Yesterday, I told my brother when we teed off on 10, my first hole of the day, walking down, felt a little extra pulse today, wonder if it's just the crowds. I think it is. It just makes it so much more fun to have people around and get some good momentum when you're playing well.

Q. How are you going to tackle the course? Hopefully the weather is going to be a lot better than it was last year but there's always going to be some drama on a Sunday. Do you play it hole-by-hole?

SEBASTIAN SODERBERG: Yeah, really trying to just take it one shot at a time. Especially with the way I feel like I'm not really too comfortable over a lot of the shots and I have to play defensively once in a while when I just don't feel right about it. But if I keep hitting it well off the tee, I should still be able to give myself a lot of good chances.
