Quick Quotes

Q. 74 around the Old Course, but that must have felt like a 64?

NIKLAS NØRGAARD MØLLER: At least. That was such a grind. I don't think I've ever played in something that tough. You know, I've been playing in wind and rain many times but nothing like this. It was just coming in sideways.

And I think the worst thing was down on hole 12, I was hitting a full driver and it flew 170 metres right into the wind. We were just, what do you do but just laugh about it. It's not really fun but it's just so severe that it's just crazy.

Q. Is this your first time experiencing true Scottish links conditions?

NIKLAS NØRGAARD MØLLER: Well, if this is true Scottish links, I think it must be -- this was just, yeah. We're actually most of the time just having a laugh because it's just so not easy.

Q. You must have found it quite challenging, of course, because you're one of the longest drivers on tour but you would have had to make some shots today and have a bit more versatility in your game?

NIKLAS NØRGAARD MØLLER: Indeed. With the wind and the water and everything, it's just a lot of low shots mostly. I had some issues with too much spin into the wind, and I just couldn't move it forward. So I don't think I've ever tried playing a course with that many two irons and 3-woods into par 4s.

Q. Naturally we have the lovely blue skies now, what you'll be facing at Carnoustie, but looking at the leaderboard, you must be pleased your position?

NIKLAS NØRGAARD MØLLER: Yeah, I haven't looked at it yet. I'm quite happy about that, thinking I got into the tournament Sunday night. It's funny because all the day, we were waiting, waiting, they must blow it off now. So tomorrow will feel quite easy compared to today.
