ITALIAN OPEN

October 15, 2017

Ross Fisher

Parco Reale di Monza, Italy

Q. Ross, 20-under par is a fabulous total. How do you rate those chances?
ROSS FISHER: I thought I needed to potentially get to 21, maybe 22. You know, a little bit disappointed. I gave myself a lot of chances coming in. After holing that one on the par 3, 12, I gave myself a really good look on 13, just naturally shaved the edge there.

Good up-and-down on 14. I thought, right, I need to make at least one, if not two, coming home. Gave myself chances. Just unfortunately didn't go in and then hit two lovely shots on 18. Hit a good putt and just slipped by.

I'll definitely take it, but I have a feeling I might come up maybe one or two short.

Q. Watching you and Marcus trading birdies all the way around, what was that like to be a part of?
ROSS FISHER: It was great. Got off to a good start. Fras got off to a good start. We just kind of fed off each other, really, and the caddies were joking about, it, "You hole one; I'll hole one." It was just a lot of fun.

A shame a couple of cameras went off on Marcus's backswing and stuff which cost him a bogey or two. All in all we both knew we needed to go low, and did our best and obviously got it to 20-under, which is a great finish to what's been a really fun and enjoyable week.

Q. What will you do now?
ROSS FISHER: You know what, I've got no idea. Probably switch my phone on, call Jo and speak to the kids, see how they are doing.

Yeah, I guess fingers crossed. You don't really wish any ill, bad play or bad golf on anyone. Like I say, lots of quality players behind me with lots of holes to play.

All I can do is sit and wait. If it's good enough, then great. If not, then I've done my best. That's all I can ask for.
