Q. 13-under after two round. Just how pleased are you with what you're producing out there?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: Yeah, incredibly pleased. Incredibly proud of how I've played so far. There's a long way to go. Keep doing the same things, should be a good week.
Q. Just the one dropped shot in 36 holes. What seems to be clicking for you out there?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: Just playing sensible golf, really, I guess. I'm trying not to hit it too close, which obviously then forces you, sometimes you can get short-sided and things like that.
So I've been putting really well, which has kept momentum going and it's worked out all right.
Q. When there is a delay and you're a few shots ahead, how do you deal with that mentally to come back out?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: I just sat down with one of my mates and chilled out with some carrot sticks.
Q. No nerves?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: Kind of deal with it and get on with it.
Q. You've put on quite a show the past two days. What's been the best part so far?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: I think my putting has been very good. Mentally I've been very good. I have a tendency to get in my own way. So allow myself to hit good golf shots and good putts and things like that has been great.
Q. When you go low one day, the hardest thing is to go know the next day, and you've done it?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: It was a great day. I putted well today. Obviously first thing this morning, greens were as good as they get. It's been a long day to be fair with a slight delay at the end. But all in all, it's been great.
Q. What was it like sleeping on the lead?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: It was nice, yeah. It was nice. Doesn't happen very often, so you've got to enjoy it while you can.
Q. And then the mindset coming out for this second round, presumably was to tap into what had worked so well on day one?
MATTHEW BALDWIN: Absolutely. Trying to just play golf, and I know that physically the things that I'm doing in my golf swing are correct and you know, the shots that I'm hitting are showing that, which from that, obviously settles your mind a little bit and just try and enjoy it as much as you can.
