Pebble Beach, California
Q. Clement, first of all, congratulations on a great round. What was different today, 76 yesterday to 68 today?
CLEMENT SORDET: Well, yesterday I was a bit nervous, to be honest. It was my first U.S. Open, and after the first tee it was -- well, I play -- I played all right, but I missed a few shots that cost me a lot. Like on 18 I hit driver out of bounds, made double.
But I didn't play much different from yesterday. Played really well. Especially, on the back nine. I really focused on keeping the ball on the fairway, on the green and try to have a chance for birdie, and I did.
Q. Is this your first time at Pebble Beach?
CLEMENT SORDET: No, I played about 15 rounds here, because I played in college for four years. And we used to play a tournament here every year. I won my first one --
Q. Congratulations.
CLEMENT SORDET: Thank you.
Q. How is this set up different from when you've seen it in the past? How much tougher is it?
CLEMENT SORDET: It's much longer. Pretty narrow. And the rough is just ridiculous. Well, it's a U.S. Open, so you can't expect much different. But, yeah, it's pretty much different.
Q. How excited are you, make the cut, first time in a major, and to have it here, someplace that you won before?
CLEMENT SORDET: Well, I don't know yet if I made the cut, but it looks...
Q. It looks pretty good.
CLEMENT SORDET: It looks pretty good. But we'll see. We'll see tonight. But I'm really, really happy how I handled myself today.
Q. What will you need to go work on tonight --
CLEMENT SORDET: Nothing.
Q. -- or will you go work on anything?
CLEMENT SORDET: Nothing. I think I'll just go home because I'm pretty tired. Just been the nerves on the back nine. And, yeah. Hopefully I'm not going to change -- hopefully I'll play tomorrow and won't change anything.
