September 28, 2017
Newcastle upon Tyne, England
MARTIN KAYMER: I think I played well. The golf course didn't play that difficult today. Overall it would have been nice to avoid the bogey on 17 but overall, 4-under, I think it's a decent start to the event.
I didn't make many mistakes. I still hit fairways. I only missed one green, the 17th. The whole group, we played solid. Obviously we hit a couple here and there, poor shots; that happens. But overall we made a few birdies when we needed and that kept the whole group going. I made a couple birdies in a row on the back nine. I think one, a bit unexpected on 12, when I missed my tee shot. But overall, I think I kept the ball in play and that was the key.
Q. A very good approach, the par 5.
MARTIN KAYMER: Yeah, that was a bit of hit-and-hope. Obviously the lie was fine. I know I can get it somewhere close to the green, maybe on to the green, and it rolls up to four, five feet. That's a bit of luck involved. It's just very difficult to make putts in the afternoon. The greens, obviously it was raining a lot, and it was a bit tricky to putt. Yes, you always expect yourself to make those 4- or 5-footers, but today was a bit different and I think I handled it very well.
