Q. I'm sure not what you wanted coming to Scotland and missing the cut. Can you talk about the two days and what you're going to take out of this?
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Well, today I actually played fine. I got a couple really bad breaks on the front nine. Outside of that, I really -- I played fine today. Yesterday was the day where I played just absolutely horrendous.
Going to next week, I feel like I'm still in a pretty good spot. A couple things to work on but I feel like I'm in a good spot.
Q. What are they?
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Just a lot of putting. My speed was off this week. Really gave away a ton of shots yesterday.
Then today I played, actually, quite solid. Just got so windy out there. It was crazy. It was hard to make birdies, especially when I wasn't making any putts. It's tough.
Q. You spoke earlier in the week about the fact that you still are learning on-the-job when it comes to links golf. What do you feel you take from this week?
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Definitely learned a lot. I had some trouble kind of going into the greens playing the bounce and judging stuff like that, and you know, I felt like when I wanted -- thought it was going to be firm when it was a little soft, and when I thought it was soft, it was a little firm. Got on the wrong side of things more often than not this week.
Going into next week, if I clear up a few things with the putter, I'll be ready to go.
Q. What are the two things, or you said you had a couple bad bounces today?
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Well, it's like you hit the ball a little bit off-line and sometimes it goes into a pot bunker, and other times it goes into the hay and your fine.
I remember yesterday my first -- I missed my first fairway on our 13th hole and I had to take an unplayable, and it was like ten yards off the fairway and stuff like that. Today, I missed my drive barely on 1 and it goes in a pot bunker.
And we get to 7 and I hit a really good shot into the green, and happens to just roll over and it gets into a spot where it's like there's almost a bush behind my ball, a toe, a putter, from 30 feet behind the green. That's one of those deals where it's like, probably shouldn't have had to toe a putter from there, but sometimes it's the breaks you get.
Sometimes you're on the right side of them and sometimes you're on the wrong ones. Like be No. 9 I hit in a pot bunker and didn't really have a swing and hit a great shot, and it gets a bad bounce and stuff happens after that. I actually played a really good back nine to give myself a chance to birdie 18 to make the cut. Ultimately didn't happen.
