Quick Quotes


Q. Walk us through today, please.

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Yeah, no, it was a good day. Started off pretty hot. So that was a good feeling. I went through a little bit of a rough patch in the middle there where I wasn't hitting a lot of fairways, wasn't hitting a lot of greens. But I did a good job of scrambling quite a bit and holing some good putts. So that was nice.

Then it was, yeah, it was nice to start hitting some more fairways, some more greens coming in and making some birdies as well. So all in all a good day, pleased.

Q. How much more comfortable are you getting now? It seems like every week now we're seeing you here.

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Yeah, well, a little bit more comfortable, yeah. Posting some good scores, yeah, some decent results as well is helpful, just to feel like you belong out here among the best players in the world. So, yeah, I saw Ryan Fox did an interview where he was talking about getting comfortable and then it took him quite awhile. That's what I'm trying to do is just get to a place where I can feel a little bit more comfortable, so that I can, yeah, try to showcase my skills. The last few weeks have definitely helped.

Q. What do you feel like you're doing really well at this point in time and did that work today as well?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Yeah, well I feel all around was fairly good today. The ball striking wasn't great there in the middle. As I said, I kind of started to scramble quite a bit, so I hit a few good short game shots and holed a few important putts for par, which kind of kept me in it. I was fairly hot at the start with some good ball striking, and then at the end with some ball striking. So it's just all around, so when the ball striking wasn't quite working then I could kind of lean on my short game and my putter a little bit. So, yeah, kind of a good way to score, really if I look at it that way.

Q. The course with the delay and the rain, was it different than what you had seen earlier?

KRISTOFFER REITAN: Well, the fairways were definitely very, very soft, which makes it even longer. It's already a pretty long golf course, so yeah, it's just, overall, I mean, greens were fairly firm today as well. It's somewhat receptive, I guess. But just a really, really difficult golf course. I'm pleased to shoot a good score around this place.
