Quick Quotes

Q. Solid two days' work; 7-under for your first two rounds. How do you reflect on that?

FILIPPO CELLI: My ball striking yesterday and today was pretty good. I'm very happy.

Today I played a little bit worse than yesterday the ball striking, but the back nine I made like a really good putt for the birdie on 15. Really good.

So, yeah. I couldn't like make more putts on the front nine today, but I'm happy for the first two days.

The tournament, it's long, two long -- two more days, so we'll see. Now I'm here and then we'll see.

Q. How much are you enjoying this opportunity this week?

FILIPPO CELLI: I'm really happy that the DP World Tour, they gave me the opportunity to play. Last week I played also, and also this week. I'm very happy for the opportunity that gave it to me.

Yeah, I really appreciate that.

Q. Obviously yesterday you were at Massareene. Tell us about how challenging it is to go from one golf course to another and trying to emulate the same success you had yesterday.

FILIPPO CELLI: The other course, Massareene, is more tricky I think. It's more short, but it's tricky because the green are so small, so you have to play a lot of iron from the tee.

The shot from the fairway to the green are not easy, because with the tough pin that there was yesterday it's not easy, but this course is more long and you can't like miss a lot of shot from the tee.

The other course, yeah, you can more like -- you can play more safe from the tee, yeah.

Q. You're obviously in a great position heading into the weekend. How excited are you about the prospect of this weekend?

FILIPPO CELLI: My goal was to go in the weekend, like every week, to stay, I mean, in contention, and have a chance to win.

And so I did a really good job the first two days because I'm in contention and two stroke behind the lead I think.

Yeah, so I'm very happy and excited to go on the course tomorrow.
