BELGIAN KNOCKOUT


May 17, 2018


Nicolas Colsaerts


Schilde, Belgium

Q. 3-under, happy with that?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Yeah, very happy. It's good to pull off a round like this, not a lot of mistakes, a couple of great saves off the trees. I'm sure you liked a few of them, and nice save on the last, as well. In control all day. I knew that the scoring wasn't going to be that low. It's not an easy course. You can do a lot of mistakes. I had to make sure that I kept focused on what I needed to do on this tight and windy day.

Q. Looks a tight course out there and like it's getting more and more bouncy as the day goes on?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Yeah, it's not often you play tree-lined firm, if it's tree-lined soft, it's easy, you can just throw darts, it's fine. But when it's a bit dry, we've played a few courses like this. Wentworth can be like that, too. When it gets firm and bouncy, you get a bit more often in the trees, so you have to take that into account.

Q. Is it nice hitting 2-irons? You're not able to take driver out all the time. Is it quite nice?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Yeah, it's a good change. It keeps it fresh. I think it's actually a pretty good warmup for Wentworth next week. Wentworth is probably like a bigger version of this. This is very old school and tight, and you really have to think your way around, play the corners, play the map, actually. So I think it's a pretty good warmup for next week.

Q. Looks like the community is out with you. You had some monster crowds with you.
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Yeah, it's funny, you see faces that I've known 15 years that I haven't seen for a long while, people that were involved in junior golf when I was playing. Yeah, it was a decent turnout this afternoon, and I'm sure there's going to be even more for the local, Pieters, this afternoon, I have no doubt.

Q. Your mom and dad, they seemed to be enjoying it?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Yeah, they are having a good time. It's the first time that we bring our little three-months old into the country. Yeah, so they support me, but then they have to baby-sit a little bit, as well, for a couple hours.
