TURKISH AIRLINES OPENOctober 29, 2015Jaco Van ZylAntalya, Turkey JACO VAN ZYL: I played really nicely, and honestly I thought 4-under par around here was a good score. Got it going early in the round and just kept it going. It was really good fun. Q. A score like that, how does that compare with some of the low ones you've had in your career? JACO VAN ZYL: It's definitely up there. Had lower scores but obviously not on a calibre-golf course like this. I would say this is definitely up there. Q. And this is a good calibre golf course; people will see it as a resort course but it has its trickiness. JACO VAN ZYL: Greens are really good but there's a lot of grain around the greens. You hit fairways and greens, it seems very easy. But as soon as you're a little bit off, you're going to get busy. Q. Talk us through some of the highlights. I know there was that eagle early on in the back nine, a whole raft of birdies there after. JACO VAN ZYL: I made probably about a 60-foot putt on 11, looked over at my caddie, John, and said to him, "I can't remember the last time we made a snake like that." It was really nice. Had a really good score and putting round. Hopefully we can continue. Q. If you can't remember the last time there was a putt like that, when did you last feel as good about your game as this, perhaps? JACO VAN ZYL: I've been hitting it really nicely for months now. Been really struggling on the short game, putting in particular. I put a little bit more effort and time into it this week, and I think I've found the one. Q. This is the start of The Final Series for The European Tour; do you approach it in any slightly different manner, or say, one last push until the end of the year? JACO VAN ZYL: No, Portugal was my last push for the year. It's been a long, hard year. These last Final Four events is basically just a nice reward for playing nicely through the year. Q. It's nice to be involved in an elite field, isn't it? JACO VAN ZYL: It is. It's great fun. Obviously starting out on The European Tour a couple of years ago, you always wonder if you belong. Working your way up and being a part of one of these events, it's really good. Q. Which begs the question: When did you feel you belonged? JACO VAN ZYL: My first couple of months out here was very scratchy. Missing cut after cut and lost in a playoff in Morocco. That kind of planted the seed a little bit and grew a little bit from there. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
