THE 148TH OPEN

July 19, 2019

Erik Van Rooyen

Portrush, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

Q. Are you ready to win a major right now?
ERIK van ROOYEN: I think so. Of course, I haven't got my first win on the European Tour or the PGA Tour yet. Personally I feel like it's only a matter of time. You can't push this sort of thing.

There's lots of outside influences. Someone else that plays great, luck of the draw, that whole kind of thing. So I know that if I keep doing my thing, that door is going to open.

Q. Really delighted to see those trousers.
ERIK van ROOYEN: With these?

Q. I'm going through a midlife crisis so I love them. I don't think many of my colleagues do. This is the first time you've worn them?
ERIK van ROOYEN: Yeah, I've got a few different colors. I started wearing them this year.

Q. Why? What do you like about it?
ERIK van ROOYEN: I like the fact that it's a little bit different yet still classy at the same time. It's not out there and whacky with a bunch of flashy colors and that kind of thing. But it is different and I like it.

Q. Is it just the style helps your golf?
ERIK van ROOYEN: I don't think it helps my golf, but it is comfortable and I like standing out a little bit.

Q. Did you have any remarks from any of the other players or governing bodies?
ERIK van ROOYEN: No governing bodies, no. I'm kind of glad they haven't stepped up and asked me about it. But I get crack from all the players on Tour all the time, and that's okay. I can handle it.

Q. One of your playing partners said, Not many people can pull it off, but you probably can.
ERIK van ROOYEN: If you're going to wear it, you've got to own it. I feel like I'm owning it.
