Q. How pleased with that performance so far?
JUSTIN ROSE: No, I think today was a much better day than yesterday. I felt like I got a good score out of my round yesterday, didn't play particularly well. It felt like I came out and swung the club much, much better today. I was a lot more patient in my transition. Yeah, I like to say, put the ball in play, felt really good. I think it was certainly in the first seven, eight holes I really felt like I was swinging nice, so good round, yeah. Nice, obviously the finish always makes dinner taste better at Wentworth.
Q. How hard it is it. swirling winds up there? It's just like Augusta. Would you say Augusta and this are the ones where you you find it hard to pick it?
JUSTIN ROSE: 100 per cent. I mean, the course does kind of move nicely around, but then, you know, you get to the sort of like the last sort of four or five holes, and it does kind of set in, you play the last few holes downwind, and that's about the only time you do begin to feel comfortable with a breeze out here. But yeah, you know, seventh hole, for example, when that pins up on that back shelf, I mean, you're kind of looking at your caddie, he's looking at you, and no one's really willing to put their neck on the line there.
But yeah, that's what makes this golf course, so fun to play, I think, and that's where flighting your ball and kind of minimizing the variance of what could happen. I think we never know exactly within five yards where the ball's going to land, but if you put the right flight on it, you know roughly that you're going to be in that little window and I think that's what ultimately sets up early chances.
Q. Now this is a home game. What would it mean to lift such a trophy? You've done everything else in the game? What would this mean with the BMW PGA?
JUSTIN ROSE: Yeah, right, I would. It would mean a lot. I always send us a bucket list of them for me. I can't deny it, I can't hide from it. Although this week, to be honest, I think with the Ryder Cup around the corner, there's sort of like -- yeah listen, I was straight into this tournament. I said at the beginning of the week that if you're get into contention this week, it becomes all about this week and this weekend will be all about this tournament. If you're in the middle of the pack, you might start thinking about Bethage and what-have-you. But yeah, I've got a great weekend ahead of me. I mean, I've got more choppy weather coming in, so it's going to be a little bit of see what happens out there, to be honest with you, but I'm feeling comfortable. I think stay in your stay aggressive, I guess, because even though the course feels like it's playing tough, opposite the scoreboard wouldn't suggest.So, so, yeah, hammer down.
