Q. How pleased are you with the way you've played this week?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: Yeah, I would say I'm more pleased with the result over how I was playing. I didn't make any big mistakes but I didn't really feel like I was hitting it as good as I should.
You know, not really finding the sweet spot and just didn't feel all that good but it went somewhat straight and was able to capitalize on good putting days and just continued to miss on the correct side, so I avoided big numbers.
Q. Seemed like nothing came easy today. How pleased are you with the way you were able to keep grinding and give yourself a strong finish.
VIKTOR HOVLAND: It was windy today, early part of the day. We got to I think it was maybe 12, 13, 13, it started pouring down, a little bit of a challenge. The ball went so much shorter, and you really had to hit really nice shots to get close to the pin to make birdie. During that part, I was just trying to make pars and I'm glad I was able to pick up a couple birdies coming in.
Q. It's been an incredible few weeks for you, coming over here, and with what's coming up ahead, how is the body and mind feeling ahead of a big week in Rome?
VIKTOR HOVLAND: The last couple weeks, I just was home in Oklahoma and didn't do anything, so I felt like that was a good way to recharge the batteries and felt like I was ready for this week and probably do a little bit more of the same next week. I'll go to Norway and relax and practice a little bit. Just maintain some things. Yeah, it's going to be a big week obviously in Rome. So got to make sure that I'm up for it.
