Quick Quotes

Q. Opening 66, you start eagle, birdie, what's going through your mind for the rest of the day?

THRISTON LAWRENCE: It's nice to start like that. I chipped in on 10 and again on 11. So still 16 holes left, you don't know actually how is your golf because you've had a great start. Just stay patient. Around here, it's not the longest golf course. There's no wind today, so you have to hit fairways and rough is quite thick. After that, just stay patient.
