THE 148TH OPEN

July 19, 2019

Byeong Hun An

Portrush, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

Q. Great round for you out there today. Can you talk about it to us, please.
BYEONG HUN AN: Yeah, it was better than yesterday. I made more birdies. And obviously the calming condition helps. And the greens were rolling better, obviously. Yeah, I was driving it better and gave myself birdie chances. Everything clicked.

The bogey on 16 was a shame. But it happens. Bogeys definitely happen out there because it's a tough golf course. I'm quite happy with 4-under.

Q. Can you talk to us about the 16th, because it's a really tricky hole.
BYEONG HUN AN: Yeah, I missed my tee shot. It wasn't like I got an unlucky break. I deserved a bogey, to be fair, it was a poor tee shot. Went a little short, right. Wasn't a terrible lie, hit a good chip to about six feet. Missed the putt and it was a bogey. Bogey happen really easily out here.

Q. I'm sure you had a very early alarm set. It probably hurt a little bit, but it's nice to come out and play in the calm conditions.
BYEONG HUN AN: Yeah, especially like this, the weather can change every single hole. I think playing early definitely helps.

It's a little less sleep. But if I can play in the good greens and play in the calmed conditions, I'd love to wake up at 3:30 every morning.

Q. You've played yourself right into the mix heading into the weekend. What's the game plan for the next two days?
BYEONG HUN AN: Game plan, just like today, I think. Trying to -- I'm not going to make any silly mistakes. Just be patient because bogeys definitely happen and if it doesn't, great.

I just need to be patient and accept what you get, because you can get some funky bounces and lucky bounces. So be patient and try to play my golf.
