Abraham Ancer

Quick Quotes

Q. So tell us about your round. It was kind of a fight, but a good fight.

ABRAHAM ANCER: Yeah, big fight. I guess tale of two tales there from the front and the back nine. Three bogeys in the front, three birdies in the back.

I had to stay patient. I felt like I was hitting the ball pretty well and not really getting anything out of it. Put myself in three tough spots there for those three bogeys and couldn't manage to save par.

But stayed patient. If you lose your patience going into Amen Corner, you can definitely lose any chance to be playing on the weekend if you do that. So I stayed calm, hit the ball good, hit some good shots from the fairway, and made some birdies that I really, really needed.

Q. How does it compare to your previous rounds here, do you think?

ABRAHAM ANCER: I think they're all a little bit different. I try to forget about the bad ones or even the good ones. I'm just focused on what I'm doing today.

I'm proud of the way I fought. I fought back. It was very frustrating feeling like you're hitting the ball well and not being able to be under par.

Like I said, I could definitely go the other way around. Good to fight back and be at even-par. Hopefully tomorrow just get in the right numbers.
