Quick Quotes


Q. Congratulations. Hopefully that's a shape of things to come, everyone congratulating you there on such a strong week.

ADAM BRESNU: That was incredible. A lot of people came to support me. It was awesome. It's the first time I felt that in my life, and it's just incredible.

It was hard today. I mean, I'm sick.

Q. Oh, really?

ADAM BRESNU: Yeah, and they were pushing me every time. I never gave up. That was insane.

I'd just like to say a big thanks to them, a really big one. I think I finished top 10. It's a big part of them, you know.

Q. Is it a flu thing?

ADAM BRESNU: Yeah, here, throat, nose. It's tough to sleep also, a little pressure, so yeah.

Q. Tell me about that. I know you've spoken earlier this week about representing Arab golf in general as well as Morocco. Tell me about the actual expectation when it comes down to the final day. I know you've spoken about your confidence and about your ability to believe in yourself.

ADAM BRESNU: Good stuff because you know I have a lot of attention. A lot of people want me to play good, and I know that. I want to play good, but that's more pressure, adds a lot.

I was like, Adam, you got it. I like the course. I see it very well. But, yeah, it was hard today. I shot, I think, 1-under on the front nine, and after I chipped in for eagle.

Q. That was fantastic. That's a great TV highlight.

ADAM BRESNU: Yes, let's go.

Q. It's lovely. Tell me, you were playing with Kieran Vincent and Cameron Tringale as well? You were playing with two of the LIV boys. How does that feel to benchmark your game?

ADAM BRESNU: After last week, when I played with Thomas Pieters, I had a lot of pressure, you know. I saw his level, and I saw mine, and I don't see a big difference. I was like I think I belong here, you know. Of course I have pressure, but less.

Q. Tell me about battling back from that bogey on 2 -- I know you had two bogeys on the front nine and then a birdie, eagle, birdie on the back nine.

ADAM BRESNU: It was hard. I was every time like lipping every hole. That bogey with a birdie after, I was glad after I missed so many opportunities for birdie also.

I was like, Adam, I don't know how many times you shot 5- or 6-under in nine holes. You can do it, and then I shot 4-under. Yeah, I did it.

Q. What's next?

ADAM BRESNU: Next I'm going tonight to see my coach in France. So I'll stay there three days. After I go back to the states, I'm going to play three tournaments -- the South Beach, the Old Patriot, and normally the Jones Cup.

Q. And then take it from there?

ADAM BRESNU: Exactly.
