Quick Quotes

Q. What a way to finish, eagle, birdie, you must be feeling pretty happy with your day's work.

THORBJØRN OLESEN: Yeah, I didn't expect that when I stood on the 16 tee. So it was a very nice way to finish. Great shot on 17, and obviously a great putt here on 18.

So there's a bit of a fight out there. I'm just happy I stuck in there and I kept being aggressive the whole way around.

Q. Well, you didn't even need your putter on the 5th hole. Let's hear about the eagle from the horse's mouth.

THORBJØRN OLESEN: Yeah, that's -- it's been a long time since I holed a full shot, I think 112 meters from the right rough. And just a normal sand wedge, just ran out. And it took a long time, but it went in in the end, yeah.

Q. It was a fantastic shot. Now, into tomorrow, you've got a lot of experience in contention, five wins to your name. What does experience tell you will be the most important thing tomorrow?

THORBJØRN OLESEN: I think I know how hard it is to win out here. It never comes easy. So I think that's important.

I think my attitude today was really good. I think if I can keep staying aggressive and not worrying too much, that's very important.

But like I said, it's always really difficult to win. You have to go out there and get it.
