THE 147TH OPEN


July 21, 2018


Louis Oosthuizen


Angus, Scotland, United Kingdom

Q. Louis, just tell me about your round.
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: You know, I think a little disappointing. Probably 5, 6-under today is a fairly easy score, I thought, for me, but, yeah, just didn't make enough of the putts. Just a little disappointing. Need to play really low tomorrow.

Q. On the par-5 6th, what happened there with your second?
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: It was a little too much club, and I had to take off it and probably tried way too much with it. Got lucky to find it and still make par. But, yeah, just a bit of an error on thinking-wise.

Q. Just talk through your birdies today.
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: I don't even remember what I made. Made one on 1, birdie on 1, started the day nicely with it. I think another birdie on 4. Yeah, you know, and then birdied 14 and 15. It was at least four or five more that I felt I left out there. Just one of those frustrating days really not making as many birdies as I wanted to.

Q. Must have been disappointing with your finish. I didn't see what happened on 18.
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: Yeah, just went for -- the greens had slowed down quite a bit, and I went for the first putt trying to make that long putt, and I just ran it six foot by and just a little bumpy on those putts. I've been really good the whole week on them, and just hit something halfway and took a boggle and missed on the right.

Q. And heading into tomorrow, do you think you're too far behind now?
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: I'm probably too far behind, but I think a really good round tomorrow can get me a good finish for the week. Goal was sort of to get to 5, 6 today, and then another low one tomorrow. So 2-under, that's quite a long way back. I'm going to need the wind to pick up strongly if I want to have a chance from where I am.

Q. Do you think teeing off where you'll be tomorrow, a long way from the leaders, will be an advantage if the conditions change?
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: It can be an advantage. We saw on Friday it can be a disadvantage if you play early. Anything can happen.
