Benjamin Hebert

Mixed Zone

Q. Benjamin, great round today. How are you feeling?

BENJAMIN HEBERT: I'm feeling great for sure. It's probably one of the best rounds I've had this year, so it's really -- yeah, enjoying the day for sure. It was pretty hard. A lot of wind, some tricky pins, but I managed pretty well the course, and I'm happy for sure.

Q. It seemed that the conditions were trickier in the afternoon. What was the key to your performance today?

BENJAMIN HEBERT: Yeah, of course it was much windier in the afternoon than this morning. We know that. My driving, tee shots and stuff worked pretty well. Also the putting. So no dropped shots at the moment, so it's cool.

Q. You have really good foundation for the rest of the championship --

BENJAMIN HEBERT: Yeah, sure, of course. It helps a lot. To have a good first round is always a good start for a tournament. But yeah, you know, links golf course is always hard. You can't really -- sometimes you can't really manage the things, so you just have to keep the ball in play, especially on the fairway is the best way.
