Q. Thank you very much for joining us. Level par through 15 holes and a quiet day and then three brilliant birdies to finish. How pleased with your day's work?

GUIDO MIGLIOZZI: It's been a tough day of golf. I started missing a driver on one, driver on 2 and then a few 3-putts as well. It was not the best way to start the second day.

But I stayed focused, I tried to stay on my game because I'm feeling great on the golf course and I was just waiting, some turning point and then I saved that beautiful par on 15. Then after that, I felt a bit better and I could accelerate, push on the accelerator and then beautiful golf shots came on the final three holes.

I mean, because today, those three holes are very, very tough because the wind is hurting a lot. It was good to finish like that.

Q. Commentators loved your approach shots into 16, 17, low burning running shots up to the pin. Describe from your point of view?

GUIDO MIGLIOZZI: Yeah, as I said, it was a difficult, difficult situation. The wind was hurting a lot and I just wanted to keep the ball low, very low to the ground and I had a beautiful 6-iron very close to the round, and using all the green, trying to keep close to the pin.

Q. And how excited now going into the weekend and possibly playing with Francesco ?

GUIDO MIGLIOZZI: I was watching the leaderboard and I saw the captain right there on top, Francesco Molinari. It's good; it will be a great battle over the weekend and if we play together tomorrow, it would be a pleasure.
