Q. How are you feeling about the four days as a whole?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: It was a lot of fun. Played fairly solid. Not too many mistakes tee to green, although I didn't hit it as good today, but managed to make a few putts, a few nice up-and-downs, and obviously bonus there on the last with the chip-in. Pleased with the game but still need some work, and going to spend the off-season to practise on the game.
Q. I think there was only three bogeys across the whole tournament. That's impressive, isn't it?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, that's got to be some record, for me at least. Kind of annoying one there on 15, missing a short one there. But yeah, three bogeys, that was definitely not the problem this week. Just needed to make a few more birdies.
Q. The week as a whole, how would you sum up your week experience in India?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Really cool. I mean, first time here, and there's so much history, so much culture. Just to kind of get a little taste of it -- obviously Delhi is a huge city and there's a lot of stuff to see, but India as a whole, there's a lot of different things, and I think every city is probably very, very different from Delhi and every other city. There's lots more to see, but I enjoyed coming here and checking things out.
Q. Would you ever take a trip anywhere else?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Sure. I'm not opposed.
Q. One bogey until yesterday; just sum up your entire performance.
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, it was very solid. I didn't make too many mistakes. I wish I could have made a few more birdies. I didn't hit my iron shots close enough. All the pins were tucked on either the right side or on the left side. Thankfully I didn't short-side myself, but I just hit everything middle of the green, so I had a lot of stuff 15 to 25 feet for birdie.
Not making mistakes, that's a good thing.
Q. How do you think the greens behaved compared to day one?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: I'd say they definitely got sandier and firmer today, so if you're hitting full shots, it's going to spot. But some of those par-5s, like I remember No. 8, I hit a full 4-iron, landed just short on the upslope and it still released out 15 steps. It was getting pretty tough there in some spots. Definitely if you're missing the fairway, you've got no chance to stop it on the green. You've got to land it short and hope to run it up. It became more and more challenging.
Q. Just to summarise your week, obviously you had golf, played good golf, there was history, there was tradition. How would you summarise a week like this which is probably different from the other weeks on Tour?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, it is very different. Going to a new place, it takes a little bit more time to just get used to the course, and obviously it's hot here. Food is very different, just everything is very different. It takes a little bit of time to get used to, but I've definitely embraced it this week because I just really love going to see new places, and India is definitely one of the favourite places I've been to. I love it.
Q. A lot of youngsters following you, a lot of golfers following you. What would be your advice how you should play this course?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: I mean, if you want to use this as a practice ground to play other courses and maybe eventually outside of India, I think you've got to push yourself to hit some drivers out here. If you can hit drivers out here and hit it pretty straight and keep it in between the trees, you're doing pretty well. Obviously this week I didn't hit a single driver, so played fairly conservatively off the tee because that's kind of my strength, and the course doesn't really call for anything more than that. But if you're using this place to practise, I think you've got to get the driver out to make sure you're hitting it straight.
If you can also chip around here because all the greens are elevated and it's super grainy and sandy, so if you can figure out how to chip around here, you can chip anywhere. It's a nice place to practise.
