Q. 7-under to close out your round in your title defence in Scotland. What was working so well?

RYANN O'TOOLE: Like I've been saying the last couple days, it's good. I'm striking it well. I've been waiting for a round like this. Nine birdies, two bogeys. Can't complain much about the round at all. You have to stay patient. I look at a round like Evian my second round, 5-over. I didn't even play 5-over. It was one of those. Didn't make any birdies.

I knew that the game is there. So see where it takes me into next week.

Q. That stretch you made four conservative, took one off on nine and made three more. What was going through your head?

RYANN O'TOOLE: I was just point, aim and shooting to be honest. I kept putting myself in position and was making them and kept rolling with it. The more I kept making them, the freer I got. So that really helped. Even around the stretch, I birdied 10. I birdied 11. I birdied 12. 13 I missed a 6-footer on. And 14 made birdie. 15 I gave it a chance. 16 was an oopsie. I missed the green and didn't hit the putt hard enough up the hill. 2-putted from there. 18, I just had that lip-out. Could have been super low today. Just one of those.

I'll take the 7. Was trying to capitalise or beat the 8 that I had last year.

Q. What's the mindset heading into this week after solid golf this week?

RYANN O'TOOLE: It's interesting, last year, I won this, craziness happens, everyone says it's really hard to bounce back, you're tired and I didn't realise that. I thought, hey, you open the floodgates and you do it again. I missed the cut at the British. It's nice to see that it's progressing and I played this event and saw some really solid things, so I'm really looking forward to the British. Maybe my first major is coming, who knows. I love links golf, so we'll see what could happen.
