Francesco Molinari

Quick Quotes

Q. Kind of a colorful round, eagles, good recoveries. How do you feel about that?

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Yeah, I think a bit more consistent than yesterday. Yeah, I played -- I think I played well. I think it's tougher than yesterday. There's a bit more wind, obviously, and the course is a little bit firmer than what it was yesterday, and I guess it's only going to firm up unless it rains.

So, yeah, I'm happy I hit the ball well. I didn't make too many putts, especially in the middle of the round. I had a few par putts and birdie putts that I missed, but obviously a good finish. So it was nice.

Q. Can you describe the highlights, like the eagle.

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Just a bit of luck at the right time. I hit a good tee shot, a second shot a bit left, but obviously it's a better miss than missing it right, and the chip from there came out perfect. Yeah, I mean, it looked like it had a chance to go in all the way, but obviously you never know. Let me just say it was nice to see that one drop.

Q. Kind of consistent with the process. The process is going well and other results are starting to happen?

FRANCESCO MOLINARI: Yeah, it's small difference, small margins that make a difference. I hit the ball a little bit better off the tee today, not many tee shots offline, just one really that I can remember, and that helps obviously.

I'd like to make a few more putts. I think, if you want to go lower under par, the difference is just going to be making more putts.
