May 20, 2018
Schilde, Belgium
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Well, it turned out to be a decent match. I had to fight again like I did in my second game. I was behind after a couple of holes and then every -- I felt like I had a couple of chances for two-shot swings. Didn't happen. Left one short on the second to last hole, which was a bit disappointing.
But I fought till the last hole, so I don't really have a lot of regrets.
Q. How hard is it getting behind and having to chase in this short format?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: It is hard because you quickly run out of holes, but always have the possibility of making a move if the other one makes a mistake. But yeah, you quickly run out of holes and know that you have to play well, basically for the full length of the nine holes to have a chance.
Q. You holed a great putt on 7. What were you thinking then?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Well, I had a chance on 6 to have a two-shot swing and then the one on 7 is basically I have to make it because James drives the green. It became almost a little bit like match-play situation, knowing that you still have to play the holes.
Q. And the last, were you thinking you still had a chance?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: Yeah, he hits in the bunker in two. I know that he's going to have to get it up-and-down to seal the deal, but if he doesn't, I can make three and go extra holes. My goal on the last was to make three. It went a little far, but I'm quite happy to give the people out here something to smile about.
Q. And the crowds on the last?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: It was cool. I'm disappointed for them because I think that I could have gone, you know, probably all the way in this, so a bit disappointing to be in this first series this morning.
Q. Describe the week and the tournament as a whole?
NICOLAS COLSAERTS: It's been great. I mean, from people that have came and watched to the Pieters family for organising. All I heard, not only from my part but from people, everything was perfectly run. I was a bit curious to see what it was going to be like, but I think for a first try, I'll give them nine out of ten.
