ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT SCOTTISH OPENJuly 14, 2017Alexander KnappeAyrshire, Scotland Q. Sum up your emotions after a sensational second day here in Scotland. ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Just fight it all day and try to go as low as possible. My emotions are really calm today. I was really couple and that was really good. Q. Did you feel calm heading out? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Absolutely, all day, and was just a great day. Q. You had 24 putts today. Describe your comfort level on the greens and your scrambling performance in round two? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: I didn't even know it was so less. I didn't know, I didn't really go through my round yet, but I just played shot by shot and I don't know how many putts. I'm putting good and I read the lines quite good and the speed is good, so obviously a little bit of luck, they dropped. Q. Two straight weeks playing links golf. How important is that in getting the feel and the momentum going? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Absolutely. You have to get used to these conditions. This week it's a little bit drier. It's a really links course and obviously it's more fun when it's dry because the courses are set up to be dry in links golf. Q. Tell me your thoughts on a brilliant season for you on The Challenge Tour. How would you assess your European Tour season to this point and how much are you hoping that will kick-start from here? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Yeah, actually started okay at the beginning of the season and then I struggled the last two months. I kept working and the only thing you can do is keep your head up and try and try. It was nice that today, a few putts rolled in and I played a good round, so looking forward to keep it up. Q. And the final thought process for you heading into the weekend? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: I don't know yet. I will decide that later off different and have a game plan for tomorrow. Q. Great start, 6-under in five holes on your front nine. ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Yeah, I made a birdie, a good putt on my third hole, and then I holed a pitch shot and then the momentum was just up and I kept going. Q. Obviously eight missed cuts in a row. Have you always felt there was a low score out there for you somewhere? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Yeah, you always try to feel a low score somewhere. You never should give up. You always should fight to work hard and eventually everything falls together. Q. A 65 today, what's been the main difference overall in today's round? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: I can't really describe. I think my putting was really good but also just the momentum kept up. In the past few weeks, always hit a bad shot and I end up, for example, in a really terrible lie and I couldn't do anything with it, and today, just some momentum was there and even when I was hitting bad shots, I had still a shot to the green. Q. A good finish here this week could be a massive boost towards next year. ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Absolutely. So I'm trying to just work hard and keep the good work up and hopefully I'll have a good finish here. Q. Your thoughts ahead of what's going to be a good weekend for you? ALEXANDER KNAPPE: Don't know yet to be honest. I'll just play shot by shot and see where I end up. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
