THE 149TH OPEN

July 16, 2021

Justin Harding

Mixed Zone

Q. Justin, first of all, how do you reflect on today's performance?

JUSTIN HARDING: Look, I played pretty good. Solid again. Statistically I think I may have missed a few fairways, but I was very rarely more than a yard off a couple of them. I kept the ball in play and managed it pretty well from tee to green.

Look, it was just a good solid day. I tried to make the least amount of mistakes as possible and give myself a couple birdie chances, and ultimately it was a bonus there on 14, which was cool. It turned a good round into a very good round. Yeah, I'm happy where I am after 36 holes.

Q. Obviously that puts you right in contention going into the weekend. How do you approach the next two rounds?

JUSTIN HARDING: Look, I played pretty good at Portrush through 36 holes two years ago, and I think I let it slip on the back nine on Saturday afternoon, so I've learnt from those experiences to just try and keep myself in it for as long as possible, keep doing what we're doing and maybe roll in a couple putts and see what happens come Sunday really.
